IRAN has executed the sicko ‘Terror of Tehran’ after he stabbed over 59 women from his moped in random drive-by attacks.
Woman-hating Rastgooei Kandolaj would attack his victims using a woodworking tool, inflicting horrific injuries and sowing “terror” into the capital.
Numerous women reported that the assailant was masked and riding a motorcycle when he carried out his heinous crimes in November 2018, the judiciary’s Mizan Online news website said.
Kandolaj would use an awl to inflict injury on his victims.
The woodworking tool is conventionally used to make small and sharp holes into objects – but instead was a weapon used by the thug to stab women in Tehran.
Images show Kandolaj in action, with a woman walking casually down the street before the thug stabs her with the awl.
She appears to fall to the ground as people who witness the attack rush to her aid.
He was given the death sentence after being convicted of the capital offence dubbed “corruption on earth,” Mizan said.
It added: “The death sentence of Rastgooei Kandolaj, who injured women and girls with an awl and created terror in Tehran, was carried out.”
Kandolaj had desperately appealed the case and requested a retrial but was declined by the Supreme Court which backed the original verdict.
Capital punishment in Iran is used for major crimes like murder and drug trafficking as well as rape and sexual assault.
Norway-based Iran Human Rights (IHR) claims that 2024 is seeing a new surge in executions in Iran.
There were at least 166 executions recorded in October alone, which is the highest number recorded in a single month since the group began documenting executions in 2007.
This would make their death extra slow, as they are slowly hoisted up into the air whilst dying.
Crowds are heavily encouraged to come and watch the hangings take place, with the disturbing moments often being televised.
Iran executed a ‘staggering’ total of at least 834 people last year, the highest number since 2015.
On 2022, the number of executions rose a staggering 43 per cent.
The IHR say that this is only the second time in two decades that more than 800 executions were recorded in a single year.
It comes after the execution of a man was halted after 28 agonising seconds, only for the victim to be executed a second time months later.
Family of Iranian Ahmad Alizadeh, 26, was forced to watch on in horror as they begged “forgiveness” for their dying relative.
However, this cry only prolonged Ahmad’s already crippling pain.
His “lifeless” body was resuscitated and he had to go through the ordeal again over six months later.
In Ahmad’s case, he had to wait until November 13 to be hanged again.
This is a delay of 200 days.
