Muammar Gaddafi’s daughter has unveiled a painting of her dead father’s bloody body as part of an exhibition dedicated to his memory in Moscow.

Ayesha Gaddafi, a trained lawyer who once held a prominent position under her father’s regime, is the fifth child of Col Gaddafi, a brutal dictator who ruled Libya for 42 years.

The painting shows the bodies of her father and brother, who were killed in 2011. They are covered with bloody sheets and a crowd stands by the corpses, using smartphones to take pictures of the bodies. A fist holding cash hovers above.

Ms Gaddafi told journalists at the opening that the artwork was “painted not with my hand, but with my heart”.
