Iran’s black widow’ faces multiple death sentences after gruesomely killing at least 10 of her ex husbands

Her final date will be with the executioner.

A serial spouse-slayer nicknamed Iran’s “Black Widow” has been sentenced to death after a lethal marriage spree that left at least 10 husbands in the graveyard over two decades.

Kolthoum Akbari, 56, confessed to much of the horrific body count, the Mazandaran Province public relations office told Iranian state media last Sunday. It’s unclear how many of her former spouses perished, but the number is as high as a dozen or more and only one is believed to have lived, authorities said.

Most were killed using rubbing alcohol, sedatives and other meds. Authorities speculate the motive is greed, and that Akbari collected gold, cash and other dowry wealth from her victims.

Her devious run finally ended in 2023 following the death of 82-year-old husband Gholamreza Babaei, according to authorities.

He had complained to family members that Akbari had been forcing him to take medications, and died shortly thereafter, according to Iranian media.

“I don’t know how many I killed. Maybe it was 13 or 15 people. I don’t remember exactly. I’d drug them and then use a towel,” she said in a confession a year ago, the Telegraph reported.

Ten families opted for qisas, Iran’s eye-for-an-eye punishment, while at least one family agreed to accept blood money — diya — rather than a sentence, as proscribed in Islamic Sharia law.

Her cruel method was to obtain “temporary” marriages, known as sigheh – contractural relationships in Iran that include a dowry and a set period of marriage – with the elderly men before drugging them.

Her poison of choice ranged from ordinary meds like those to treat diabetes, industrial alcohol that she sneaked into drinks, and sedatives, according to Iranian media and Saudi-based Iran International. ***

Multiple Death Sentences? I wonder how the Iranians intend to make that work?

My advice is the monetary payoff for your deceased family member is the smart choice.

I don’t know how they got her picture. She has to have an adverse effect on clocks and cameras.

Did she marry blind men?

Or maybe she’s a step up from goats and camels?

Friggin crazy Iranian broads are crazier than the crazy little red ridinghood handjobmaiden tails in this country. No wonder nobody knows what a woman is anymore. They’re all skanky lunatic piñeapples and screaming banshees.
