Deadly Confrontation in South Tehran: Two Killed in Dispute Over Stolen Property
A Violent Clash Leads to Tragedy
A shocking incident unfolded in southern Tehran late Tuesday night, leaving two young men dead after a violent altercation. The confrontation stemmed from a dispute over stolen property, escalating into a fatal encounter.
The Events Leading to the Tragedy
According to reports, the conflict began when a young thief, identified as Pirouz, burglarized a woman’s home and was subsequently arrested. While in prison, Pirouz repeatedly contacted the victim, pleading for forgiveness to secure his release. His brother and a friend also pressured the woman to drop the charges, but she refused.
The situation took a drastic turn when an acquaintance of the victim, a 50-year-old man named Amin (who had recently returned from the UK), intervened. After learning of the persistent harassment, Amin confronted Pirouz’s brother over the phone, firmly rejecting any settlement.
A Fatal Meeting
On the night of the incident, Amin arranged a meeting with Pirouz’s brother and his friend in a southern Tehran neighborhood. The discussion—meant to resolve the dispute—quickly turned violent. Witnesses and surveillance footage later revealed that Amin attacked the two young men with a sword, killing both before fleeing the scene.
Police Investigation Underway
Authorities, led by Tehran’s Criminal Prosecutor Mohsen Ekhtiari, swiftly launched an investigation. Police recovered a mobile phone at the crime scene, which was later confirmed to belong to the assailant after a woman (the original burglary victim) identified it.
Detectives from Tehran’s 10th Police Precinct are now intensifying efforts to locate and apprehend the fugitive suspect. Surveillance footage has provided critical evidence, confirming Amin’s involvement in the deadly altercation.
Ongoing Manhunt
As the search for the suspect continues, authorities urge anyone with information to come forward. The case highlights the dangers of personal disputes escalating into violence—a grim reminder of the need for legal and peaceful conflict resolution.
