Once his father even tried to kill him with a stick. He loved going and learning at school, but due to his father’s pressure, he had to abandon it and work. At the age of 11, he shifted to Khutanabad with his family and started working at a furnace. He was sexually abused at the age of 11. This incident left a profound impact on his psyche, and he was driven by the need to take revenge.

In addition to this, he also killed two adults. Bijeh had confessed to the rapes and that he was motivated to take revenge on the society he lived in and the sufferings he bared after his mother’s death and the lack of affection. He said “I suffered cruelty from childhood, and when I compared my life with others, I had to commit such acts.

On 14 September 2004, he was convicted of the crimes and was tried in Branch 74 of the Tehran Penal Code under Masour Yavarzadeh Yeganeh, the presiding judge. In the same year on 27 September, he was sentenced to 100 lashes which were followed by his execution.

After that Milad Kahani, mother of one of the victims tied a blue nylon rope around his neck, and he was hung 10 meters above the ground by the crane until he died.
