A medical student found guilty of kidnapping and murder was hanged in public in a stadium of northern Iran, Ettelaat newspaper reported.
It said the condemned man, named only as Saeed, was executed on October 30 in the town of Amol in Mazandaran province.
The family of the victim, who was identified as Mohammad Javad Parvizi, refused to pardon the killer or accept blood money, as permitted under Islamic Sharia laws.
Blood money in Iran is currently fixed at 150 million rials (nearly $20,000) for killing a man and half that amount for a woman.
