Two Lacey parents are facing criminal charges, including assault and attempted kidnapping, after several bystanders had to step in to stop a father from strangling his daughter outside a school.
The incident happened outside Timberline High School on Oct. 18. The girl’s parents, Ihsan and Zahraa Ali, were both arrested after the confrontation, and court records indicate it could be related to a possible “honor killing.”
According to court records, the 17-year-old victim told investigators her father had recently been threatening her with an “honor killing” after she refused to go to another country for an arranged marriage with an older man. She reportedly went to her school for help, which then led to the confrontation outside.
