Ep. 71 - Iran: The Chain Murders and The Spider Killer

سلام This week we’re off to Iran! Kate kicks us off with the Chain Murders; an intense string of seemingly connected killings throughout the late 80s-90s. Georgie then dives into another spate of murders at the hands of the Spider Killer and the shocking reaction from those that praised him. Join us this week for political schemes, warped morals and cliff edge drama. ممنون ✈️ 🇮🇷 🔪 Kate’s Charity: https://www.iranrights.org/center Georgie's Charity: https://omidfoundation.com/about-us/ Kate’s Hatspats: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/tehran-aerospace-exhibition-center https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/iran-mall Kate’s Shownotes: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-46356725 https://www.rferl.org/a/two-decades-later-still-no-justice-for-iran-chain-murders-of-intellectuals/30997536.html https://iranwire.com/en/features/5674 https://en.radiofarda.com/a/pirouz-davani-victim-of-the-political-chain-murders-remembered-/30992701.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_murders_of_Iran Georgie's Hatspats: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/radkan-tower https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/nashtifan-windmills https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/khalid-nabi-cemetery Georgie's Shownotes: https://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=80802&page=1 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/1461888.stm https://www.albawaba.com/news/public-trial-scheduled-iran%E2%80%99s-alleged-spider-killer https://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/18/world/iran-executes-worker-who-strangled-16-women-over-2-years.html https://apnews.com/article/472182fa734c065982c9ff2ce272fec2 https://www.irishexaminer.com/world/arid-30027537.html https://murderpedia.org/male.H/h/hanaei-saeed.htm https://gravereviews.com/2020/09/19/saeed-hanaei-serial-killer-to-hero/ https://www.theguardian.com/film/2003/aug/18/edinburghfilmfestival2003.iran https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2004-may-25-et-ramsey25-story.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saeed_Hanaei
