42-year-old Iranian man has brutally stabbed his
35-year-old hairdresser wife to death inside their apartment because he
was upset she had converted to Christianity.
According to Dailymail,
Amir Darbanou was charged with the murder of his wife Nasrin Abek after
her body was found inside their apartment in the affluent suburb of
Potts Point on Thursday.
It was gathered that the man got enraged that his wife Ms Abek had
recently converted to Christianity and killed the hairdresser in a
frenzied knife attack on Wednesday night, the Sydney Morning Herald
reported.
Police made the shocking discovery after forcefully gaining access
into the couple's home at about 6.20am on Thursday after Ms Abek's
father raised concerns for her welfare.
Mr Darbanou had allegedly called his father-in-law in Iran to tell
him Ms Abek was dead on Wednesday night and was arrested after her body
was found the next day. Ms Abek's father said his heartache over her
death had been made worse by the fact he had to contact police 'several
times' before they would act.
Superintendent Mick Fitzgerald said officers believe they recovered
the knife allegedly used to kill Ms Abek during a search of a nearby
garbage tip, but at this stage of the investigation it was 'too early to tell'.
