Perhaps this act is not an honor killing, and perhaps this case does not belong in this archive.
Miad Barhayel is a 15-year-old girl who had passed her high school exams and was waiting for the results. Her father and mother are divorced.
On the evening of June 12, the father lured his daughter away from her grandmother's house by promising her an Iphone. To the grandmother, he asked to let his daughter go with him to go bird watching at his sister's house.
The father beat and strangled his daughter until she was dead in his sister's house and then surrendered at a police station. The forensic doctor says Miad died of suffocation and had bruises on the abdomen and knees. We would be very happy with any leads!
If it turns out that there is no honor motive, we will of course remove the case from the archives.
