An Iranian woman was sentenced to death for murdering and chopping up her drug addict husband who allegedly tried to rape her daughter. The woman was identified as 33-year-old Fatemeh Haghighat-Paju, and she was expected to be hanged "in the next few days", Etemad newspaper reported. She reportedly told a judge that her husband had been constantly eyeing up her 15-year-old daughter -- from the woman's first marriage -- and that she was told by the husband that he had lost the girl in a gambling match. Haghighat-Paju later discovered that her husband, only identified as 30-year-old Bahman, had tried to rape her daughter.
"The same night, while he was taking drugs, I strangled him with a scarf and chopped his body up into small pieces in the bath," the woman was quoted as confessing. She then stored the body parts in the fridge and slowly threw them into a river, before being caught. The crime took place some seven years previously, the reports said.
