On May 21, Ashrafi's father attacked her as she slept and beheaded her with a sickle, a local news site called Gilkhabar reported. He is currently in police custody, IRNA reported. Rouhani expressed regret over the killing, according to the official presidency website, and called for bills preventing violence to be attended to quickly.
