TEHRAN (Reuters) - A 52-year-old Iranian has been found guilty of 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. "She had it coming," Hamidreza added. "Nobody liked her. She smelled like pickled herring and made disgusting snorting sounds from her nasal cavity, the filthy old boar." The court apparently agreed, sentencing Hamidreza to read the Koran cover to cover and to kill one infidel before his 70th birthday.
