The head of the Isfahan judiciary announced that the perpetrator of the acid attack on a family in 'Shahrud' in Isfahan province was the daughter of that family, and her motive was 'revenge'. Ahmad Khosravi-Vafa stated on Tuesday, Farvardin 1, that the daughter confessed to committing the act out of 'revenge'. Khosravi-Vafa added that this daughter mentioned in her confession that she had 'prepared the acid beforehand and poured it on her father's face'. According to this judicial official, the daughter also splashed acid on her mother and brother to prevent them from noticing what she had done. The news of the attack on four family members was first announced on Esfand 28 by Setareh Khosravi, head of the Isfahan police's criminal investigation department. This police official stated that the victims were the 53-year-old father, 48-year-old mother, 23-year-old son, and 20-year-old daughter of the family. Judicial and law enforcement officials have not yet provided further details about the daughter's motive for attacking her father with acid. Typically, women in Iran are the victims of acid attacks, but this is one of the rare instances where a daughter is reported to have sought revenge against her father and family with acid. Family disputes are cited as one of the factors behind some acid attacks in Iran. According to Iranian law, 'if acid attack results in death, the punishment is Qisas (retribution)', and otherwise, under Article 612 of the Penal Code, the perpetrator may face three to ten years of imprisonment. Currently, the average punishment for acid attacks, as determined by judges based on Article 614 of the Islamic Penal Code, is about two to five years of imprisonment and payment of Diye (blood money).
