Iran TV: 5 people stabbed to death in family home in north
Iran’s state TV is reporting that five people were
stabbed to death in a house in the northern Gilan province, including four
members of the same family.
Monday’s report quoted deputy prosecutor Aliasghar
Heidarnejad as saying the victims were a father, mother, grandfather and
daughter, as well as the daughter’s friend.
Heidarnejad says a suspect was arrested, but police
were continuing their investigation into other potential killers. There was no
immediate word on motive.
In was the deadliest domestic killing incident in
Iran since March, when a man shot seven members of his wife’s family dead in
the southwestern city of Dezful.
In January 2017, a man gunned down five people in
the central Iran. A month earlier, a man killed 10 relatives in a remote
southern rural area.
