A Tehran criminal court has acquitted a woman who languished in jail for eight years on suspicion of having “illicit sex” and murdering her husband, reported the official Iranian news agency, IRNA, citing a local press report.
The daily Abrar said the woman was accused of murdering her husband with the help of a lover.
She allegedly married her accomplice months after her husband's death.
The alleged lover, meanwhile, insisted he did not meet the accused until after her husband's death.
