Of all the bizarre stories to emanate from that land of ”tolerance and understanding…….
“A 52-year-old Iranian has been sentenced to death for killing his 70-year-old lover when she asked to marry him, a newspaper reported Monday. A court report in the Etemad daily said a taxi driver, identified only as Hamidreza, became furious when his elderly lover Setareh proposed marriage. “I went to her house and she said she had deep feelings for me and suggested we get married,” he told the court. Hamidreza explained he already had a wife and children. “She then got frustrated and slapped me,” he said. The man knocked her unconscious and suffocated her with bed-sheets before making off with her jewelry.”
