Death of Setayesh Qorayshi

Setayesh Qorayshi (Persian: ستایش قریشی‎‎) was a 6-year-old Afghan girl who was raped and then killed by an Iranian 17-year-old boy. This incident has raised widespread media attention in both Iran and Afghanistan. Many users on social networks, either Iranian or Afghan, condemned the incident and expressed their sympathy with Setayesh's family. After an unsuccessful attempt to burn the corpse in a bathtub full of acid, the 17-year-old killer then called his friend and asked him to help him in fading the corpse. His friend, however, didn't help the killer and instead, he informed his own father. His father in turn, called police and then the police arrested the killer.
