CHICAGO – An Iranian immigrant accused of using a 3-pound hammer to beat his wife, sister-in-law and mother-in-law to death and then repeatedly stabbing them had left messages and a letter saying he felt “disrespected,” police said Monday.
Ebrahimi was charged with murder in the deaths of his wife, Karmin Koshabeh, 44; his sister-in-law, Karolin Khooshabeh, 40; and his 60-year-old mother-in-law, Ileshvah Eyvazimooshabad. He appeared in court Monday afternoon and a judge denied a request for bail.
Koshabeh and Khooshabeh were found in an apartment in the city’s West Rogers Park neighborhood, and Eyvazimooshabad was found in an apartment around the corner.
Detectives believe Ebrahimi killed his wife around 2 a.m. Saturday, then called and “lured” his sister-in-law to the same apartment around 6 a.m., Byrne said. He then allegedly went to his mother-in-law’s apartment and attacked her, returning to the bodies of his wife and sister-in-law to call 911, Byrne said.
