A teenage girl was almost choked to death outside her school in an alleged ‘honor killing’ by her parents after she refused an arranged marriage.
Ihsan Ali, 44, and his wife Zahraa Subhi Mohsin Ali, 40, were charged with attempted murder and attempted kidnapping after their arrest on October 18.
Shocking video allegedly showed the father on the ground with his daughter on top of him as he choked her.
The girl, 17, who wasn’t named, ran away from home to Timberline High School in Lacey, Washington, where her 16-year-old boyfriend also studied, after her parents tried to put her on a plane to Iraq.
‘Her father had recently been threatening her with honor killing for refusing an arranged marriage with an older man in another county,’ the girl told police, according to court documents.
