A mum who drugged and chopped up her own son because she disapproved of his bachelor lifestyle has been given just 45 months in jail.

Director and writer Babak Khorramdin was killed by his father Akbar Khorramdin and mother Iran Mousavi Sani in the Ekbatan community of the Iranian capital Tehran in May 2021. He was 46 years old.

The shocking murder was discovered on 16th May last year, after parts of Babak’s dismembered corpse were found by a local council worker.

Police swiftly arrested the director’s parents, who admitted to killing their son and failed to show any contrition.

The couple accused their son of being “morally corrupt” and complained that he had not married and was having relationships with students.

On 17th May 2021, Akbar admitted that his wife had made Babak pass out by poisoning his food.

He said he then tied his son’s feet to a chair, put a plastic bag over his head and proceeded to stab him several times.

Both mother and father then butchered his body in the bathroom, stashed his severed body parts in suitcases and disposed of them around town.

CCTV footage, seen here, shows the couple taking the suitcases containing the body parts down in a lift.

Two days later, on 19th May last year, the pair confessed to killing their son-in-law Faramarz and daughter Arezoo the same way, in 2011 and 2018 respectively.

They said they killed Faramarz for his lack of “morality” and Arezoo for her “alcohol and drug use and affairs with strangers”.

A psychiatrist reportedly confirmed that the parents were of sound mind.

But despite the depravity of their crimes, Iran was only given 45 months in prison for complicity.

The 70-year-old woman had told the court on 5th January that she only spiked her son’s food because her husband had ordered her to do so.

She claimed: “I was doing this out of fear of my husband so that a similar fate would not befall me.”

Akbar did not go on trial because he recently died in prison due to an illness, according to local reports.

Iran’s sentence was handed down on 8th June this year.
