Freedom Messenger -- The third wife of a painter who had killed her husband after family disputes was sentenced to death on the request of the painter’s two first wives and their children…
The 24 year old wife of the murdered man confessed to killing her husband.
Setrareh said, “I had a very hard life while living in a janitor’s room in a residential building with my children. I met Vahid [the painter] a year ago… He promised that he would provide an easy life for my children and I after I married him. Despite the fact that I knew Vahid had two other wives, I had no other choice but to marry him. But when I got engaged to him, unfortunately, he did not live up to any of his promises and he also mistreated my children. He forced my 9 year old son to go to work with him and constantly hit him. He did not allow my little daughter to go to school and in a way imprisoned us in our house… I was living in sorrow until the day of the incident when we were having a severe argument, I yelled out, “Either kill me or divorce me so that we can all live in peace!” He suddenly came towards me to attack me and I stabbed him with a fruit knife in his chest. I never intended to kill him and did not imagine that he would die so easily”.
