A schoolgirl has described the moment her parents allegedly tried to strangle her in an 'honor killing' after she ran away to escape a forced marriage.
Ihsan Ali, 44, and his wife Zahraa Subhi Mohsin Ali, 40, are charged with second-degree attempted murder and attempted kidnapping after the attack on October 18.
The girl, 17, who can't be 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.
Shocking video showed Ihsan on the ground with his daughter in a chokehold outside the school, while classmates desperately tried to free her.
Ihsan and Zahraa both pleaded not guilty and are expected to go on trial in July.
