This terrible news in Newfoundland, which includes the discovery of the body of a young Iranian woman in a suitcase and the suicide of the suspected murderer, the woman’s husband, has caused public shock and astonishment. According to published information, Baran Abed, a 33-year-old Iranian woman, was murdered shortly after arriving in Canada. Her husband, Mehdi Pourbaghi, who was known as the host of the crime podcast “The Last Witness”, committed suicide after committing the crime.
Newfoundland police have announced that Baran Abed’s body was found mutilated and left in a suitcase in a vacant lot. This luggage was left in this area for about six days before it was found. Also, CCTV images show that Mehdi Pourbaghi carried this suitcase. Pourbaghi’s body was found in his home on Monday, where police believe he committed suicide after killing his wife.
The release of the last episode of the podcast “The Last Witness” titled “The Hunter Continues” has also given this tragic event even more strange dimensions. In this episode, Pourbaghi talked about a violent story without any introduction and gave descriptions of the bloody murder of a young woman. This podcast has caused more shock among listeners and fans of crime podcasts.
Mehdi Pourbaghi, who was a graduate of Allameh Hali High School and Sharif University and a PhD student in Bioinformatics at Memorial University of Canada, shocked not only his family and friends, but also the academic community and the listeners of his podcast. This tragic incident reminds us of the need to pay more attention to psychological issues and support people who have serious problems.
