Days before her death, the young Jordanian woman who was killed by her father due to her bad grades, wrote on Facebook “God, prolong my father’s life and make his heart happy.”

“I love him with a love that only you know, so protect him for me.”

Thursday, one of the victim’s friends wrote on Facebook that the victim had informed her a while ago that she suffered from lack of sleep due to studying.

The friend added that the victim was scared of her father’s reaction if she gets bad grades.

Social media users circulated a short video of an online lecture which was recorded for a university course.

The video showed the victim being told by one of her university professors that she achieved a 50 out of 50 in one of her exam results.

Wednesday, the Public Security Directorate arrested a father who beat his daughter to death in Amman because of her low grades.

Criminal Prosecutor Judge Muwaffaq Obeidat charged the man with murder and brutal torture. He will be detained for 15 days pending investigations, subject to renewal, at a correction and rehabilitation center in the capital.

A source close to the investigation told Roya that the victim was a first year university student who got a scholarship.

The source noted that her dad beat her because of her low grades, which might lead to her losing the scholarship.

The source told Roya that the father beat the victim with an electric wire for nearly an hour without stopping.

The father of the victim was referred to the Public Prosecutor and confessed that he beat his daughter, but did not intend on killing her.

The Director of the National Center for Forensic Medicine Adnan Abbas spoke to Roya about the case, saying that an autopsy was conducted at a private hospital.

Abbas added that the body did not have any traces other than beating to explain the cause of death, adding that 50 percent of her body was bruised.
