Prominent Iranian Film Director Dariush Mehrjui, Wife Stabbed to Death

Fazeli-Harikandi said the director’s daughter Mona Mehrjui found the bodies when she went to visit her father Saturday night at the home in a suburb about 30 kilometers (19 miles) west of the capital, Tehran.

The report said authorities were investigating and gave no speculation on a motive, though the wife had complained about a knife threat on social media in recent weeks.
