According to Hamshahri Online, a 34-year-old woman from Fuman County in Gilan Province, named Matin Tayebikhah, was stabbed to death in her home on Sunday, September 22, 2024. A 47-year-old man was also murdered by the same individual at the same location and in the same manner. The suspect, a 39-year-old employee at one of Rasht’s hospitals, fled after the murders but was arrested a few hours later.
