Hasan, a 36-year-old married man in Tehran, was reported missing after leaving for work on August 12, 2018. His close friend Akbar initially blamed two unidentified guests, but later gave contradictory accounts and ultimately confessed that he had killed Hasan during a confrontation after discovering or fearing discovery of Akbar's long-term secret relationship with Hasan's wife, Akram. Akram reportedly helped move and abandon Hasan's body near the Saveh road and later admitted the secret relationship. Akbar and Akram were arrested and sentenced by a Tehran provincial criminal court; the source reports a retribution sentence and other penalties for Akbar and 15 years' imprisonment and lashes for Akram.

Infidelity
The reported conflict centered on a concealed affair between Akbar and Akram within a close family-friend network. Nasrin described suspicious behavior, a surprise discovery, separation, and divorce, while Hasan reportedly developed suspicions and confronted Akbar. The source also reports a separate financial grievance between Hasan and Akbar, which may have intensified resentment before the fatal confrontation.
Hasan's father reported him missing to Tehran police on August 13, 2018. Akbar was the first person arrested after police found Hasan's body near the Saveh road and identified inconsistencies in Akbar's account. Akbar gave several conflicting explanations, including blaming two unidentified men, citing a debt dispute, alleging abuse of Akram, and finally describing the secret relationship and confrontation. Akram was later arrested and reportedly admitted the relationship and said Akbar threatened her after Hasan's death. The source reports that Branch Five of the Criminal Court One of Tehran Province sentenced Akbar to retribution, 99 lashes for illicit relations, and blood money related to the deceased; Akram reportedly received 15 years in prison and 99 lashes for complicity and illicit relations.
The investigation moved through multiple contradictory accounts. Akbar first blamed two unidentified guests, then described a debt-related killing, then alleged he acted after Hasan abused Akram, and finally acknowledged the secret relationship and described the confrontation. The source also presents conflicting accounts about whether the relationship was consensual, whether Hasan attacked Akram, and how the fatal force was applied.
Hasan was reported missing after leaving for work. Akbar claimed Hasan had died in Akbar's home while meeting two strangers and said he had abandoned the body near Saveh. Police recovered the body and arrested Akbar, whose changing accounts drew attention to his relationship with Hasan and Akram. Nasrin then described discovering Akbar and Akram together, followed by separation and divorce, and Akbar later acknowledged a long-term concealed relationship. In his final reported account, Akbar said Hasan discovered Akram hiding in a wardrobe, a struggle followed, Hasan became motionless, and Akbar and Akram transported the body; Akram reportedly assisted after being threatened.
The source describes a high-risk combination of concealed infidelity, suspected jealousy, prior relationship breakdown, threats, alleged domestic abuse, financial resentment, and escalating confrontation. Nasrin reportedly anticipated that disclosure could provoke violence, and Akbar later described a physical struggle with Hasan. These facts indicate substantial reported escalation risk, but the source does not provide an independent clinical or forensic risk assessment.
The source illustrates how a close family-friend network can conceal an overlapping romantic relationship and create multiple points of exposure. Reported warning signs included unusual intimacy, hidden meetings, deceptive explanations, suspected surveillance, threats, separation, and escalating confrontations. Financial resentment may have operated alongside jealousy and rivalry, but the precise causal weight of each factor remains source-limited.
The most important reported signals were Akbar and Akram's unusual closeness, affectionate behavior, hidden meetings, repeated efforts to describe each other as siblings, Nasrin's discovery of them together, Hasan's suspicions, and the reported threats after the death.
The recovered body near the Saveh road, Akbar's contradictory accounts, his initial proximity to the victim, Nasrin's account of discovering Akbar and Akram together, and Akram's later reported admission helped connect the relationship history to the homicide investigation.
The strongest evidence types reported were recovery of Hasan's body, Akbar's eventual confession, Akram's reported admission, statements from Nasrin and Hasan's family, and the inconsistency between Akbar's initial account and later admissions. The source does not describe forensic evidence in detail.
Hasan's father reportedly told police that Hasan had disappeared after going to work. Nasrin reportedly described suspicious behavior, discovering Akbar and Akram together, the subsequent separation, and her fear that disclosure to Hasan could provoke violence. Akbar gave several accounts during interrogation, and Akram reportedly said Akbar threatened her after Hasan's death.
Follow-up interrogations changed the understanding from a disappearance involving alleged unknown guests to a homicide linked to a concealed relationship. Akbar's accounts shifted from blaming strangers to citing money, alleged abuse, and finally acknowledging the affair and describing the body disposal. Akram's arrest and reported admission further connected her to the post-incident actions.
The source does not independently establish the exact mechanism of death, the precise role of Akram during the fatal struggle, or the extent to which the financial dispute contributed to the killing. It also does not provide detailed forensic findings, the identities of the initially alleged guests, or full procedural information about the reported sentences and their later status.
