He Killed His Beloved Girl’s Ex-Fiancé

According to Etemaad newspaper, a young man, after being arrested, confessed that he
killed the ex-fiancé of his beloved girl, with the girl witnessing the crime.
The story began when an internet taxi driver fell in love with a young girl and proposed
to her. They were set to get married, but when the girl’s ex-fiancé got involved in the
matter, a fatal incident occurred.
In mid-February 2024, a man reported his son missing to the Tehran police. He said his
son had left home for an errand and never returned. Suspecting foul play after several
days, the father sought help from the authorities.
Initial investigations revealed that the missing young man had been engaged to a girl
but they had broken up due to numerous disagreements. The detectives questioned the
girl, but she claimed to know nothing about the missing young man’s whereabouts.
Further investigation uncovered that the missing man was last seen getting into a car
driven by the girl’s current suitor, an internet taxi driver. The last phone call made by the
missing man was with the girl’s new suitor.
The young man, upon his arrest, initially claimed ignorance of the ex-fiancé’s
whereabouts. However, he eventually confessed to the crime, revealing that he had
killed the girl’s ex-fiancé and that she had witnessed the murder.
He confessed, “I killed the girl’s ex-finance, and she witnessed the crime.” The girl was
also arrested, and their confessions unveiled the mystery of the ex-fiancé’s
disappearance. The accused said the victim was his romantic rival, which motivated the
murder.
The suspect answers questions about this case.
Did you know the victim beforehand?
No, I saw him for the first time on the day I planned to confront him, but it turned into a
murder.
What happened that made you want to confront him?
He was bothering my beloved girl. I had proposed to her, and we were supposed to get
married soon. I was afraid she might leave me because of her ex-fiancé. I went to see
him to tell him to leave her alone, but it escalated into a fight, and I unintentionally killed
him.
Describe the day of the incident.
My beloved girl had told me that the victim was her ex-fiancé and that their relationship
ended due to constant conflicts. Despite their breakup, he continued to call her. I
decided to meet him and ask him to leave us alone. That day, my beloved girl and I
were in my car when she called the victim and arranged a meeting. When he got into

my car, I drove to a deserted area on the Saveh road and stopped. I told him to stop
bothering my beloved girl and even threatened him. His response angered me, and we
started fighting. We got out of the car, and while my beloved girl stayed inside, the fight
escalated. I stabbed him with a knife I had with me, killing him.
Did the girl intervene during the fight?
No, she was inside the car watching.
What did you do with the body?
Once I was sure he was dead, I dragged his body to the desert, took some gasoline
from my car, and set his body on fire.
Was the girl present during the entire incident?
Yes, she was very scared. I did everything out of love for her but didn’t think about the
consequences.
How did you meet the girl?
I am an internet taxi driver. A few months before the murder, she requested a ride, and I
accepted. I picked her up from her university and drove her home. We talked during the
ride, and I liked her, from her tone to her respectful behavior. The next day, I called her
and confessed my love. From that day, our relationship started, and now I don’t know if
she will continue the relationship with me considering the dark and uncertain future
ahead.
