Father was freed by court for 12 days after 'trying to strangle daughter, 17, in honor killing' at school
Daily MailA father accused of almost strangling his daughter in an attempted 'honor killing' outside her school was allowed to walk free for 12 days after prosecutors initially failed to charge him with attempted murder. Victor Barnes, the father of the girl's boyfriend whom Ihsan allegedly punched in the face during the attack, wrote in an application for a restraining order on behalf of his son that he believed the parents should be charged with attempted murder. Ihsan was released on a $150,000 bond by Judge John Skinder, and Zahraa stayed behind bars after Judge Christopher Lanese set her bail at $500,000 On the morning of October 18, he said the girl's parents showed up at his house with police demanding to know where she was. 'Her other daughter, which is the girl's older sister, is trying to fight the other kids away,' Barnes said, which the girl also told police. The girl told police she fled inside with her boyfriend yelling, 'My dad was trying to kill me' as Zahraa allegedly pursued her to the school doors, but wasn't let in.
