== Procedures ==
After finding a part of a mutilated body in Ekbatan town, the criminal police identified Babak Khorramdin's body based on his fingerprint, and after examining the videos recorded on CCTV cameras, the director of the director was arrested and confessed to the murder. . The two also confessed during interrogation that they had killed their son-in-law and daughter in 1990 and 1997.

Hamshahri newspaper wrote hours before the announcement of judicial and law enforcement officials about the confession of Babak Khorramdin's parents to the murder of their daughter and son-in-law that "one of the ambiguities that complicate the murder of cinema director Babak Khorramdin is the disappearance of his sister Babak "It's already an issue that the police and the criminal team are currently investigating, and it may take the case into a new phase."

Meanwhile, Mohammad Shahriari, the head of Tehran's criminal court, said that Akbar Khorramdin said that Faramarz, his daughter Arezoo's husband, "had moral problems and killed Babak in the same way he killed Babak in 1990 and moved his body out of the house." "He threw it in the trash."

Akbar and Iran Khorramdin have stated that they also killed their daughter Aruz in 1997 "in the same way as Babak was killed for consuming alcohol and drugs and communicating with strangers."

A relative of the Khorramdin family, who did not want to be named, told Iran International that he last saw Arezoo in July and August 1997, after which his mother said that Arezoo had gone to Turkey and then taken refuge in Canada.

According to him, Arezoo had married Faramarz in 1989, but later they said that there was no news about Faramarz. The head of the Tehran Criminal Court said that Arezoo had remarried before marrying Faramarz and had separated from his wife in 1988.

According to Shahriari, Afshin and Azar are the other children of this family and are younger than Babak and Arezoo. He added: "Babak Khorramdin's father has more national than religious thoughts and even changed his last name because he belongs to Babak Khorramdin. "He also says that he had the right to kill Babak because of his moral corruption, and he believes that one should be pure."

Akbar Khorramdin said: "My son was single. "Because of the differences we had, I anesthetized him on Sunday morning with anesthesia and then stabbed him to death. I tore his body out of the house and threw it in the nearest street bin."

Hossein Rahimi, commander of the Greater Tehran police force, also said that after the murder of their son-in-law and daughter-in-law, Babak Khorramdin's parents claimed that their son-in-law and daughter-in-law were living abroad if they had been killed inside the country.

Akbar Khorramdin had previously said about the reason for Babak's murder: "Babak suddenly changed his behavior and behavior 5 or 6 years ago and changed his mind. I was tired of his work. He was bothering me and his mother a lot. His thoughts did not match ours. "He does things that were not in line with my principles at all."
