JONESBORO, GA (AP) -- Jonesboro Police say a daughter's refusal to go along with an arranged marriage led to her death and resulted in her father's arrest. The victim, 25-year-old Sandela Kanwai, died of strangulation early Sunday.
Authorities allege that 54-year-old Chaudhry Rashad argued with his daughter, then choked her to death. The homicide occurred just after 3 a.m. at the family house in Jonesboro.
Rashad was placed in the Clayton County Jail and is scheduled to make his first court appearance Monday.
