A father has been arrested after allegedly trying to kill his own daughter in what police are calling an “honor-based” attack that’s left an entire community stunned.
What Happened?
Cops say the 45-year-old dad lured his 19-year-old daughter into a secluded area before brutally attacking her. Neighbours reportedly heard her screams and rushed to call police—officers arrived just in time to save her life.
She was found with multiple stab wounds and rushed to hospital, where she’s now fighting to recover.
Why He Did It
According to investigators, the father believed his daughter had “brought shame” on the family by refusing to follow his strict expectations.
“This wasn’t just violence—this was a calculated attack,” one officer said. “He genuinely believed he was restoring some kind of twisted ‘honor.’”
Facing Serious Charges
He’s now facing charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault, and domestic violence. Prosecutors say more charges could be added, calling it one of the “most disturbing cases of family violence” they’ve ever seen.
Community Reaction
Women’s rights groups have slammed the attack, calling for stronger protections against honor-based violence.
“No one should ever fear for their life just for living it their way,” one advocate said.
The Bottom Line
The victim is recovering, her father’s in custody, and police are urging anyone at risk of similar violence to speak out.
