Dubbed the “The Vampire”, Ali Reza Khoshruy Kuran Kordiyeh stalked the streets of Tehran, Iran, for his victims. Before he was through, Kordiyeh claimed the lives of nine females, including a ten-year-old girl. Kordiyeh lured his victims by pretending to be a cab driver. Once under his control he raped and stabbed the women to death, usually setting their bodies on fire afterward in an attempt to limit clues and avoid detection. Picked up for acting suspiciously at a mall, Kordiyeh was arrested and confessed to the string of murders when he was confronted with physical evidence linking him to the killings and was identified by a surviving victim. 

Sentenced to death, Kordiyeh was hung from a crane in front of 20,000 witnesses on August 12, 1997, after being flogged by prison authorities and relatives of his victims. Unfortunately the whole mess could have been avoided in 1993 when Kordiyeh was arrested on charges of kidnapping and rape but escaped while being transported to court.
