a 52-year-old Iranian was sentenced to death

a 52-year-old Iranian was sentenced to death for killing his 70-year-old lover when she asked to marry him. The man, a taxi driver identified only as Hamidreza, said: “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 jewellery.
