← Back to Iran casesBahareh Allegedly Murdered by Nima, Salome, and others, Tehran, Iran
Case Summary
Bahareh, a 25-year-old woman married to Nima for about two years, died after falling from the balcony of their third-floor apartment in a family building in Tehran. Initial investigations suggested suicide, but suspicious elements including witchcraft-related items and a complex family affair involving Salome, Nima's brother Farzad's wife, led police to uncover a secret affair between Salome and Nima. Salome, jealous of Bahareh, enlisted a fraudulent couple, Mahnaz and Seyed, who ran a fortune-telling and extortion scheme, to cast spells and extort money from Bahareh. Bahareh was blackmailed with private videos, leading to financial extortion and severe emotional distress. The case resulted in arrests and heavy sentences for Salome, Nima, Mahnaz, and Seyed. The scandal destroyed family reputations and led to Farzad divorcing Salome.
