A woman, sentenced to death for murder and adultery, was stoned to death in Tehran's Evin prison, a judiciary source said. Iran's courts had found Maryam Ayoubi, 30, guilty of murdering her husband with the help of her cousin, identified only as Hossein. She was also sentenced to 100 lashes, the source said, without saying whether she had been whipped before her execution. Her husband was murdered in 2000 in eastern Tehran, in the Narmak district.
