Noor Faleh Almaleki, 20 died yesterday in the hospital, after being run over by her run father two weeks ago. Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 48 said that his daughter had become "too Westernized" and had abandoned “traditional Iraqi” value. He was unhappy with the way she dressed and how she resisted his rules, and he considered it an honor killing, authorities stated.
After the hit and run, Almaleki drove to Mexico and left his vehicle, then made his way to Mexico City to fly to Britain. He was denied entry into Britain and they put him back on a plane to the US.
Amal Edan Khalaf, 43 a friend of Noor Faleh’s was also injured in the hit and run and suffered serious injuries and is still in the hospital recovering. Peoria, Arizona police expect to change the aggravated assault charge to more severe charge now that Almaleki has died, and he will also be charged with aggravated assault charges for Khalaf’s injuries.
Khalaf admitted to running over his daughter over the weekend, according to Salt Lake’s Fox 13 Now. By his own admission, this was an intentional act and the reason was that his daughter had brought shame on him and his family," Stephanie Low a county prosecutor said. "This was an attempt at an honor killing," Fox 13 Now reported.
CNN reported that hundreds of people have been leaving comments on Noor Faleh Almaleki’s MySpace page all day. Although her MySpace page is set to private, the front page can be viewed by clicking click here.
Almaleki is currently being held on a $5 million dollar bail in Phoenix.
