PHOENIX (AP) — A Glendale father accused of running down his daughter because she was too Westernized faces arraignment Thursday in Maricopa County Superior Court.
Prosecutors are expected file harsher charges against 48-year-old Iraqi immigrant Faleh Hassan Almaleki in the death of his daughter, 20-year-old Noor Faleh Almaleki.
Peoria police spokesman Mike Tellef said detectives and Maricopa County prosecutors are determining what the new charges against Almaleki will be.
Almaleki is accused of using his Jeep Grand Cherokee to run down his daughter and another woman in a parking lot in Peoria Oct. 20.
Almaleki fled the area and was captured in Atlanta last week.
At a court hearing over the weekend in Phoenix, county prosecutor Stephanie Low told a judge that Almaleki admitted to committing the crime.
