Posted on this earlier – but here is a follow-up story… Turns out the father and daughter were Hindu and the suspect is Muslim. Hat Tip: The Religion of Peace From Fox News:

ANAHEIM, California — A man held for questioning in the murder of a father and daughter in California was upset with the family because they broke off his relationship with another daughter for religious reasons, court documents indicated.

Friends told the Orange County Register newspaper the victims were devoutly Hindu, and court papers said the religions in question were Hindu and Muslim.

Iftekhar Murtaza, 22, of Los Angeles was arrested on a fugitive warrant Saturday at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Arizona, and was being held on Wednesday without bail.

An extradition hearing was scheduled Thursday.

The Register reported that Murtaza had a one-way ticket to Bangladesh.

Murtaza had not been charged with a crime but was considered a “person of interest” in the deaths of Jayprakash Dhanak, 56, and his 20-year-old daughter, Karishma, Anaheim police Sgt. Rick Martinez said Wednesday.

Murtaza could not immediately be reached for comment. He had no lawyer and no one answered the telephone at his Van Nuys, California, home on Wednesday.
