A Christian father has been accused of stabbing his daughter to death in an argument over her Muslim boyfriend.

Henriette Karra, 17, was found dead at her family home in Ramle, Israel with multiple stab wounds to the neck on June 13.

Her father Sami, mother Aliham and her uncle were all arrested for plotting the brutal killing.

Henriette was in a relationship with a jailed Muslim man, and planned to convert to Islam according to reports.

The Daily Mail reported her death sparked protests in her hometown.

Haaretz reported she spent the last two weeks of her life in hiding from relatives, who launched a campaign of threats and violence against her.

She hid at the home of her boyfriend's mother, who also received threats.

58-year-old Sami Karra felt humiliated by his daughter’s behaviour, and viewed the relationship as an affront to the “family’s honour,” mother Aliham told police.

In early June, Sami allegedly beat and threatened Henriette, telling her, “I would spend my whole life in jail. I don’t care,” according to the Jerusalem Post.

The frightened teen also filed a police report a week before her death saying her own mother had attacked her.

She even texted a friend about being under attack, the Jerusalem Post reported.

One read: “You won’t believe what they did to me… They are sending people to kill me,"

Another added: “They are searching for me in every possible place.

"You don’t understand what fear this is. I don’t believe I have the strength to stand on my feet and run away.”

In the days before she was killed, Henriette admitted she planned to convert once her boyfriend got out of prison later that week.

The relative told Sami, who then hatched the murderous plot, authorities believe.

Sami, who has committed a string of previous offences including intimidation, property violations and drug dealing, was charged in Henriette’s death on Sunday.

His lawyers have denied the allegations.

Attorneys Shukri Abu Tabik and Giora Zilberstein told Ynet: “It’s no secret that the family had a bad relationship, so to speak, between the deceased and her family in light of the criticism her family had of her behaviour.

“This did not lead to murder and could not lead to murder.

“The complaints against [Henriette] were only to reunite the family.”
