First confessions of suspects in Tehran University student murder

The person who killed Amir Mohammad Khaleghi said about the incident: When I took the phone, he said I was a university student. We said, "Give me your bag, take the phone and go," but he hit us. He said I had documents in my bag. Amir told me to stab him. We had no idea he was a university student. I hit him twice and returned to the scene.

Motorcyclist: We chose this place for the robbery because it was quiet. Ahmad pulled out a knife as soon as he reached the student and said he would hit him.
