She “lost control of her emotions” after her father beat her and her mother, the statement said. On Sunday evening, the father, 44, and daughter quarrelled about the arrangements for her after-school classes and he beat her. The girl took a knife from the living room to stop the assault on her mother. She entered a bedroom where her father was pressing her mother down on the bed and hitting her, she was quoted as telling police. Relatives were quoted as saying that the girl studied hard, but her father, a maths teacher at a local school, was not satisfied and often attacked her.
