Two brothers have been apprehended in Tehran following the discovery of five family members, including their mother and four siblings, dead in a deep well. Reports indicate the motive for the killings was financial disputes and an attempt to claim the family inheritance. The bodies were discovered in the Simon Bolivar area of north-west Tehran after law enforcement focused on the two brothers, whose names have not been disclosed.
The exact depth of the well remains unclear, with reports suggesting it ranges from 20 to 26 meters. The brothers reportedly approached the police alleging theft of family jewelry worth billions of tomans, which led to an investigation of the disappearance of other family members. During questioning, the brothers admitted to their involvement in the killings.
The victims were identified as their mother, two sisters, and two brothers. The bodies were found in sacks and concealed within the well. The Tehran Province's judiciary has ordered a comprehensive investigation into the case, and proceedings are ongoing to determine each suspect's role and the sequence of events.
