# Iran publicly hanged a convicted murderer at the scene of his crime. Most executions in Iran are carried out inside prisons. Public executions are generally reserved for offences that caused particular outrage. The condemned man had been convicted of killing a couple and a young woman with a hunting rifle late last year in the city of Kordkuy. On Tuesday, a man was publicly hanged in the southern province of Fars after being convicted of murdering a mother and her three children during a robbery.
