Saed News: The killer says: Nahid was used to taking advantage of men, and I naively thought I was different from the others for her.
According to SAEDNEWS, citing Rokna, it was at dawn on one of the spring days of 1403 that the crime scene investigation team of the Criminal Investigation Police was dispatched to the scene after receiving a report about the discovery of the body of an unidentified woman in a water canal. The body belonged to a 45-year-old woman wearing expensive clothes and jewelry. By matching missing persons reports from the previous 24 hours with the body’s characteristics and confirmation by the deceased’s family, it was determined that the body belonged to a woman named Nahid.
Looking at the photos and characteristics of the body and comparing them with the appearance of her husband and child made the viewer doubt their family relationship. How could a woman with such an altered face, implanted nails and eyelashes, expensive jewelry, and branded clothes be the wife of a simple worker and the mother of a girl wearing worn-out and faded clothes?
I approached the young girl sitting in front of the case officer and, after offering condolences, asked her to tell me about the deceased. While wiping away her tears, the girl said: My mother had long abandoned us to ourselves and lived according to her own preferred lifestyle. Although we lived in the same house, she was busy with her own life and entertainments, and my father could do nothing. My father is a simple worker and could not afford my mother’s expenses. Everything luxurious you see in my mother’s life was obtained through friendships with other men. She even had an expensive car, which she left home with on the night of the incident.
As soon as the girl finished speaking, a young man in handcuffs entered the Tenth Department. The case officer explained that he was Nahid’s killer. The girl stared at the young man in shock. It was completely clear that they knew each other.
At the request of the officer, the girl left the Tenth Department, and the suspect sat in front of the officer. I asked him to explain the cause and motive behind the murder. The young man said: The deceased and I were relatives, and despite having a wife and children, I was involved with her. We were supposed to make a good financial investment together, but some time ago I realized she had deceived me and taken my money. It was very hard for me to accept that she was spending my money enjoying herself with another man. That is why I arranged to meet her under the pretext of settling accounts. We drove around the city for a while and then stopped by the highway. She expected that because of our relationship, I would ignore the money she had taken from me. I became very angry, first slammed her head against the steering wheel, and then killed her with a knife. I threw her body into the water canal and abandoned her car outside the city. I never thought the police would identify and arrest me so quickly.
Maybe if I had not become involved with her, if I had respected my acquaintance with her husband, and if I had remained faithful to my own wife and married life, these events would not have happened. Nahid was used to taking advantage of men, and I naively thought I was different from the others for her.
Expert Opinion
We live in a time when the storm of shifting values has shaken and destroyed the foundations of many families. Fulfilling needs—not even primary needs such as food, but rather unnecessary and secondary desires—pushes individuals to cross moral and religious boundaries.
We envy the attractive showcase that others present from their lifestyles on social and real-life platforms, without realizing that these images are only selected fragments of their entire lives.
The intense desire to resemble heavily made-up women and so-called “street leopards” has placed many women on a path where, to achieve this hollow position, they commit all kinds of wrong and inappropriate actions. In the end, at the cost of losing love and a pure, simple life alongside husband and child, they gain nothing but destruction at the hands of men who see them merely as tools for pleasure and only as providers of their material needs.
