A 35 year old hairdresser was stabbed to death by her husband inside their apartment in Sydney, Australia because she converted to Christianity, according the the Sydney Herald.  Both are Iranian and have been living in Australia for four years on “bridging visas.”

Amir Darbanou, 42, was charged with the murder of his wife Nasrin Abek after police broke into the apartment at the request of her father who was concerned about her welfare.  Amir had called her father in Iran and told him that he killed his daughter, leading to her father frantically attempting to get the police to investigate the apartment.

One neighbor heard screams come from the apartment in the afternoon, but only silence after.
