SPOKANE — Police in eastern Washington have identified a woman whose body was found in a burning vehicle on Friday.
Ibtihal Darraji, 29, was found strangled inside the car in Spokane, The Spokesman-Review reported.
Her ex-husband Yasir Darraji was taken into custody Friday and charged with murder.
The Spokane County Medical Examiner said the cause of her death was strangulation.
Ibtihal and Yasir Darraji divorced about four years ago. Court documents say friends told police of threats Yasir had made against his ex-wife.
Yasir told police he was upset because he smelled marijuana in Ibtihal’s car when she picked up their son the night of her death and instead of going to work as a Lyft driver, he ended up just driving around, according to court documents.
