A “mentally unstable” man stabbed 10 people to death in Iran’s southern Kerman province before being arrested by police, official media reported on Monday.
On Sunday, an “Afghan citizen killed ten people over personal differences in Rafsanjan,” Hossein Rezai, the city’s interim governor, was quoted as saying by the state-run Irna news agency.
Six Afghans and four Iranians were killed in the attack and one person was injured, Rezai said.
The suspect was arrested while trying to leave the province, the same source said.
According to the state television channel Irib, the man would be “mentally unstable” and a drug addict. His identity was not revealed.
