Iran child killer to be executed

Posted October 14, 2004

Working through my RSS feed of BBC News this morning I came across this interesting article about the sentencing of a serial killer in Iran.

For his crimes he will receive the following sentences:

  • Death for two cases of rape.
  • 15 years in prison for kidnaping.
  • 3 years in prison for seven counts of premeditated murder.
  • 100 lashes for "crimes against the dead", (which I can only assume means necrophilia).

A few of things strike me about this, not least of which is the degree of punishment for a given crime, (i.e. how do you get the death penalty for two counts of rape with only three years in prison for seven counts of first degree murder), but what I really want to know is, in what order do they plan to carry out this sentencing?
