A girl almost strangled by her father in an alleged ‘honor killing’ claims he threatened to murder her several times and abused her at home.
Ihsan Ali, 44, and his wife Zahraa Subhi Mohsin Ali, 40, were charged with attempted murder, attempted kidnapping, and assault after the attack on October 18.
The girl, 17, who wasn’t named, ran away from home to Timberline High School in Lacey, Washington, 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.
Shocking video allegedly showed Ihsan on the ground with his daughter in a chokehold, while classmates desperately tried to free her.
After she was freed and escaped alleged murder attempts by both her parents and fled into the school with her boyfriend, 16, she detailed claims of abuse to cops.
A police officer interviewed the girl in her bed at Providence St Peter Hospital in Olympia on October 21, where she explained her father felt she dishonored the family.
‘[The girl] said the reason why her father threatened to kill her [was] because she has made “trouble at home” and he believes she is trying to “separate the family”,’ the officer wrote in their report obtained by DailyMail.com.

The officer wrote that she told them Ihsan previously told his daughter he wanted to ‘hurt her so badly but there are cops here’ but also told her how he would ‘kill her no matter what happens’ and he ‘did not care if anyone saw him’.
The girl said the last time her father threatened to kill her was two to three weeks before the attack when her boyfriend came to the door.
‘[The girl] said she is scared and believed her father’s threats to kill her,’ the offer wrote.
The girl said her father had a gun ‘with colored dots on it’ he used to carry in his pickup truck and now kept in a purple box on a shelf in his bedroom closet.
The teenager claimed her father was also abusing her youngest brother, who is autistic.
‘She said her father “hits” her younger brother “way more” and it is “disgusting”,’ the officer wrote. The girl said her brother was autistic and ‘didn’t know any better’.
‘She said one time her father shoved food in the brother’s mouth and he was “choking” on it.
‘She said the second incident her father took her brother to work with him who in turn “tasted” the “blue thing” in the urinal. She said her dad got mad at him and “hurt” her brother with the belt, which left bruises all over his back.
‘She said the third time her brother was in the bathroom and he “pooped” on the floor. She said her dad got upset with him and shoved the poop in his mouth to make him “taste it”.
