A father has admitted killing his teenage daughter with a firearm in what is suspected to be an “honour killing” but claims it was an accident, saying he “just wanted to scare her”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Mohammad Kazem Lashkari, 43, reportedly flew into a rage when he saw his daughter Ariana Lashkari, 15, with a boy in the park in the southern Iranian city of Nurabad.<\/p>\n
After his arrest, Mohammad said he only wanted to scare his daughter and that he fired the gun accidentally in the June 27 tragedy.<\/p>\n
He told the police: “After the argument, Ariana went to my mother’s house and I couldn’t control my anger. I took the rifle to scare him, but I shot accidentally.”<\/p>\n
But one of Ariana’s relatives said that her father had killed her because he could not accept the fact that his daughter wanted to live her life.<\/p>\n
“Ariana was a girl who did not like to be subjugated by her father,” the anonymous relative said, according to activist Masih Alinejad.<\/p>\n
He added: “Ariana was a quiet girl who went to school and was full of hope. all his friends adored him. I still can’t believe she’s gone.”<\/p>\n
“I hope that the blood of this innocent girl will not be wasted like others who have been killed in this way.”<\/p>\n
About 15 percent of murders in Iran are so-called “honor killings,” while more than 60 percent of women’s murders are committed by a member of their family, writes the British Daily Mail.<\/p>\n
Neighbors said Mohammad was under the influence of drugs when he committed the murder.<\/p>\n
Investigations continue.<\/p>\n
