Update: "Too Westernized" Daughter Dies After Two Weeks in Coma

Twenty year old Noor Faleh Almaleki, who was run over by her father in Phoenix for being too westernized, has died.

Via The Telegraph:

At a court hearing in Phoenix, Stephanie Low, prosecuting, said Almaleki had admitted to the crime.

"By his own admission, this was an intentional act and the reason was that his daughter had brought shame on him and his family," Mrs Low said.

"This was an attempt at an honour killing."

Family members told police that Almaleki attacked his daughter because he believed she was not living according to his traditional Iraqi values.

They said he became infuriated when his daughter married a man in Iraq but then decided to live with her boyfriend and his mother in Arizona.

Religion claims another victim, Noor Faleh Almaleki.

What a tragedy. Beautiful young girl cut down in her prime by her own father. What a scumbag.
