Unknown woman
Age at death: 29 years
Burned alive: December 20, 2020
Residence: Tehran
Ethnicity: Fars
Children: –
Perpetrator: her husband (29 years)
Excuse: Dispute over divorce

After a week of fighting in a Tehran hospital, a 29-year-old woman died of her severe burns on Sunday, December 20. Before her death, she said she was set on fire by her husband.
The police launched an investigation and discovered that the woman had already reported to the police and her family that she had had a fight with her husband. It was enough reason for the police to arrest the man.

However, the 29-year-old man denied that he had killed his wife and claimed that he loved his wife and never intended to kill her. During questioning, he acknowledged that there was an argument, but that this was not a reason to set her on fire. He tells a story that his wife set herself on fire and that he actually helped her put out the fire by throwing a blanket over her and then taking her to the bathroom to wash her with cold water.

What the judge decided is not known. We are happy to receive any leads!

Residence: Tehran
Ethnicity: Fars
Children: 2
Perpetrator: her husband Reza
Excuse: Dispute over divorce

At the Tehran District Court, a case came before the judges against Reza who allegedly beat his wife Sima to death after an argument in the cemetery. Sima’s sister said that she was worried when Sima had not shown up for an appointment and that she called her and a woman answered the phone and said that Sima was not feeling well and had fallen in the cemetery.
She rushed to the cemetery and found her half-dead sister there who was then quickly taken to the hospital. Sima died a few hours later. Doctors said the cause of death was a brain hemorrhage. Sima’s sister pointed to Sima’s husband as the likely culprit.

After this statement, Reza had to report to the police station. There he stated that he had nothing to do with his wife’s death. He said that his wife sometimes went to the cemetery and that something may have happened to her there.

A few days later, Sima’s sister found the woman who had answered her sister’s cell phone and she took her to the police to give the following testimony, “I was at the cemetery when I saw a young woman lying on the ground and I went to her to help her. Further away was a man, who was behaving very suspiciously. I do not remember the man’s face, but I am sure that he had done something to this young woman.”

The forensic pathologist stated that the injuries on Simra’s body indicate that she was probably beaten and defended herself with her hands.

Neighbors confirmed that they heard Sima and Reza arguing hours before Simra’s disappearance.
