Police: Chicago Man Bludgeoned Relatives to Death Because He Felt 'Disrespected'

CHICAGO — An enraged Iranian immigrant used a 3-pound hammer to beat his wife, sister-in-law and mother-in-law to death and then stabbed them repeatedly because he felt "disrespected," police said Monday. After the attack, Daryoush Ebrahimi, 55, also struck himself several times in the head with the same maul hammer he used to bludgeon his relatives, said Chicago Police Cmdr. Thomas Byrne.

"It was a very difficult scene, and that would be indicative of that type of anger," Byrne said of the two apartments where the bodies were found on the city's far North Side.

Police also found cell phone video messages and a letter that Ebrahimi left at one of the apartments, Byrne said. The FBI is helping translate the messages and letter, which are in Farsi. "Right now I wouldn't say it's a suicide note ... but it's more about, again, how he feels disrespected, and that's pretty much a reocurring theme in the note," Byrne said.

Ebrahimi has been charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of his wife, Karmin Koshabeh, 44; his sister-in-law, Karolin Khooshabeh, 40; and his 60-year-old mother-in-law, Ileshvah Eyvazimooshabad.

He appeared in court Monday afternoon, where a judge denied his bond. Detectives said the family may have had a history of violence. We're getting signs that there has been some violence in the past ... to what degree I don't know," Byrne said. p>

Several times? Now, that's what you call hard headed.

Apparently he didn't apply the same level of gusto as he did with three women.

What a brave demonstration from yet another muslim male....

When police arrived, they found Ebrahimi hitting himself with the hammer, apparently trying to kill himself, Byrne said. He was treated and released Sunday from a nearby hospital.

Violent and stupid.

What Chicago needs is some common sense hammer control laws.

Well I wondered which is why I asked. Christianity hasn't sunk in with this one if he's indeed Christian.

If hammers were outlawed, only outlaws would have hammers.

Well, he did not earn any respect from me. I doubt anyone else respects him either.

I am very afraid that we are going to hear more and more of this. I am very afraid that of copycat terrorist acts like the one in the Utah mall committed by a muslim terrorist, or the muslim terrorist taxi driver who ran over 2 student with his car.
