Police in Tehran have investigated a series of family homicides involving attempts to stage crimes as robberies.

In one investigation, authorities examined the death of a 51-year-old woman found in her home. While the husband claimed a robbery had occurred, investigators noted inconsistencies in family statements and discovered stolen jewelry and a fake anklet. Scrutiny was placed on the victim’s son after a piece of fabric found at the scene was linked to him.

In a separate incident in the Chitgar area, a 47-year-old retired man confessed to the murders of his wife and 12-year-old daughter. The suspect had initially attempted to frame the killings as a robbery by leaving a safe empty. However, forensic evidence, including gunpowder residue, and the suspect’s severe financial debts led to his confession. He stated that an argument with his wife escalated into a fatal shooting.
