According to local Australian media, the father of 35-year-old Nasrin Abek called the police when he had not heard from his daughter for quite some time. Cops then went to the Christian convert’s house to investigate and found her dead inside her house with multiple knife wounds, Mohabat News details.

Abek’s decision to embrace Christianity had angered her husband, leading to her murder, Yahooo 7 News reports. Darbanou allegedly stabbed his wife multiple times then called his step-father in Iran. The suspicious tone of their phone conversation led the step-father to alert Australian police. Edward Davidson, who lives just meters where the crime happened, said he did not hear any screaming or argument. “This poor woman’s been stabbed to death in her home, metres from where I sleep and why couldn’t I do anything about that? (Police) asked if I’d heard screaming, heard an argument. I hadn’t,” said Davidson. “I said ‘did you kill your wife?’ … because I was angry and wanted an answer. He was standing there looking very calm, cool, collected.” Darbanou had already appeared before the Central Local Court on Friday and has been charged with one count of murder. His next court appearance is scheduled on Nov.

Hae’s body turned up a few weeks later on February 9, and the police later charged Adnan Syed, her ex-boyfriend with her murder. Jay Wilds, an alleged accomplice to the crime, confessed to the police that he knew that Adnan killed Hae and Adnan tasked him with burying her. The state later used Jay’s testimony as the foundation for their case, even though it contradicted some of the state’s own physical evidence. While Jay’s eyewitness testimony does identify Adnan Syed as Hae Lee’s murderer, it is self-serving and inconsistent, with no physical evidence to corroborate it. Therefore,

In "the cask of amontillado the narrator kills due to madness an the narrator in "the killings kills to avenge his sons death. Another difference is that after Montessor kills his "friend", he feels no remorse or guilt and Matt fowler from "the killings" feels empty and remorse after the killing.

Adana also states he remembered seeing her there too. She then later wrote an affidavit and it stated that they spoke for about 15-20 minutes and then she left around 2:40. The murder ‘happened’ at 2:36 so Adnan couldn’t have been ‘murdering’ Hae at this time if he was at the library. The ones who believe Adnan is guilty will say she undermined her own story but her story has so much details, she couldn’t of had made that up. She also wrote him letters stating what happened that day without anyone knowing so Asia claiming she only did it because the family was ‘forcing’ her to do so is false. The parents didn’t even know she existed until Adnan mentioned the letters. This alibi shows Adnan is not guilty because he was at the library of the time Hae was

Amir wants to get rid of Hassan because he feels so guilty about the rape that he thinks it would be best if either him or Hassan were gone. Baba has always told Amir that the biggest sin was theft, so Amir tries to set Hassan up by saying he stole Amir’s presents. Amir went into Hassan’s room and put his new watch and money underneath Hassan’s mattress. Then Amir went over to Baba’s office and knocked on the door. He then tells Baba that all of his gifts are missing and that he thinks Hassan stole them. When they go to check in Hassan’s room, they find the gifts where Amir had left them: right underneath Hassan’s mattress. When Baba asks Hassan if he stole the gifts, Hassan says yes. Hassan knew that he had been set up, but he still took the blame for Amir’s sake, because if Baba found out that Amir had tried to get Hassan in trouble, then Amir would’ve gotten in a lot deeper trouble than Hassan did. “My heart sank and I almost blurted out the truth. Then I understood: This was Hassan's final sacrifice for me. If he'd said no, Baba would have believed him because we all knew Hassan never lied. And if Baba believed him, then I'd be the accused; I would have to explain and I would be revealed for what I really was. Baba would never, ever forgive me.” (Hosseini 105). Hassan had once again, sacrificed himself for Amir’s sake. Amir finally realizes how good of a friend Hassan truly is, and begins to feel more
