A Muslim man got so upset over his 19-year-old daughter shoplifting condoms that he strangled her with his bare hands, reported the New York Post. His daughter planned to use the condoms with a man she was forbidden to see.
Asadhullah Khan found out that his daughter, Lareeb, stole condoms after the police sent a letter to his home, according to People's Pundit Daily. He knew for sure then that his daughter had engaged in sexual activity.
In a Darmstadt, Germany, court, Asadullah said he killed his daughter to protect the family's honor. Lareeb's mother, Shazia Khan, didn't try to stop Asadullah because she said she was too afraid of him.
Lareeb's 14-year-old sister, Nida, however, told the court that her mother was just as strict as her father and often hit both of them.
"My Mama was not suppressed, she could do what she wanted. She used to hit me with a stick," Nida told the Daily Mail. "We were never allowed to talk about her boyfriend. My father used to say my sister should be forcibly married in Pakistan."
After Lareeb was killed, both of her parents dressed her in a dental assistant's uniform and dropped her body off in a forest.
Despite everything that happened, Asadullah admitted to loving his daughter.
The trial for the murder is ongoing.
