A Jordanian father beats his daughter to death for dropping her university grade

A Jordanian father beat his university daughter to death, due to her low grades, in a crime that sparked outrage on the communication sites in the Kingdom.

The security authorities in Jordan arrested the father, while the Public Prosecutor of Major Crimes decided to detain him for 15 days, subject to renewal, in the Correction and Rehabilitation Center, on charges of “murder coupled with brutally torturing the victim.”

The "Roya" channel reported on its website.

The father had brought an electrical cord when he was with his daughter and started beating her with it for about an hour without stopping.

Through social media platforms, the incident sparked shock and widespread discontent, as activists condemned the crime, amid calls for severe penalties against the father.

The label carrying the girl's name topped the list of the most widely traded in Jordan, and the participants expressed their anger and sadness over the killing of the girl, who was the victim of a heinous and unjustified crime, they said.
