He told police:
“After an argument, Ariana went to my mother’s house and I could not control my anger.
“I went there with my shotgun to scare her. I really did not mean to kill my daughter. I fired involuntarily.”
Confirming the incident, one of Ariana’s relatives said her father had killed her after she had an argument that she didn’t want a life of oppression.
“Ariana was a girl that didn’t enjoy being oppressed by her father,” the relative told human rights activist Masih Alinejad.
“She wanted to choose her own lifestyle and have a free mind. Accepting her views was hard for her father.”
He added: “Ariana was a quiet girl who went to school every day full of hopes. This girl was very kind and caring.
“All of her friends and classmates adored her. I’m still in shock. It’s unbelievable that Ariana is gone.
“The regime is trying hard for this tragedy not to get published in the media.
“I hope this innocent girl’s blood is not going to be trampled on like many other girls who have been murdered in this way.”
