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, Timberline High School in Lacey, Washington.
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.
'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. The girl arrived in first period, shocking her boyfriend, who was dating her since February, as her parents pulled her out of school two weeks earlier after another incident.
'They know she's in danger, they know her circumstances and situation, but they insist for her to take public transportation to get to her safe destination - without any type of chaperone,' he said. Barnes said his son 'starts to see her eyes roll back, and her arms start flailing' before she went limp and unconscious as he tried to save her.
Zahraa then allegedly entered the fray and also tried to choke her daughter to death, but was separated by the growing group of kids. Barnes said after Zahraa tried to get through other entrances, the principal put the school on lockdown.They are believed to be still behind bars on bonds of $100,000 and $200,000, according to court records.
'We were put on lockdown for a brief period of time to maintain safety and order on campus. Upon instructions from Lacey PD, the lockdown was lifted.' 'At the end of the school day, the school made my child responsible for this girl's safety by asking him to help this girl get on the bus,' he wrote in the application.
