01 February 2006 :
an Iranian man convicted of murdering the aged parents of the woman he had hoped to marry was hanged in a prison in the southern city of Bandar Abbas, the Etemad-e-Melli newspaper said. The convict, identified only as Ali, was apparently rejected by the victims as a suitable husband because he had a history of drug abuse and drunkenness.The hanging brings to at least 10 the number of people executed in Iran this year, according to an AFP tally based on official reports.
