  • 12 years ago, a young mother of three, Zahra Abrahimzadeh, had her life taken away from her, by her own husband. The crime played out at a public venue in South Australia, in front of 300 people, including her own daughter. Her children said that they had warned police something horrific could happen. But nothing was done. In this powerful report, Zahra's children speak with Alex Cullen, as they prepare to witness their father be sentenced to life in prison. This story was broadcast on 26 August, 2012. Just days after that life sentence was handed down.

    If you threaten to kill the prime minister you will go to jail. Whats the difference if you threaten to kill your spouse.

    The absolute audacity of that bastard to call himself a victim is nauseating. What he saw as someone trying to destroy his life , was actually the fact that he felt like humiliation because his wife left him , he didn't care that she was afraid, didn't care to hurt her or his kids, no , he only cared about what other ppl would think. These men from that region of the world are always bent up about "Honor " , to the point that they'll literally kill wives , children and anyone else in order to satisfy their imaginary slights . The whole thing is ridiculous. Is there honor in throwing your life away and rotting in a prison cell ??? Like , yeah I killed my wife for dishonorable conduct, but now that I'm in prison, alone and all my children hate me. I've got honor out the wazoo. Its like cutting of your nose to spite your face.

      Thank you!! Finally someone recognizes that. I had a friend in a similar predicament years back when she lived in Saudi Arabia. It was bad, she was terrified. She was able to get away from her husband with her children, but had to move to a different continent to feel ‘somewhat safe.’ I feel so bad Zahra didn’t have that opportunity.

      This was, (and still is), my mom. She was a personable, educated, well-mannered fashion plate to those who didn't live under her roof. I've been recently thinking about the mental, emotional, and physical abuse I suffered as a child. Could my friends tell? Could the teachers tell? My mom worked for the school and was doted on by the nuns who taught us. I was an unaware anorexic starting around age 7 (I still suffer with the disorder at times). I suffered from debilitating panic attacks where I'd hide in the school's bathroom. No one offered to help me. No one even acknowledged the odd behavior till I had a psych break at age 11. Sometimes I'm impressed with what my mind, heart, and soul dealt with but continued to endure and even thrive a little bit. I'm 42, I have no children, never been married, and have trouble making and maintaining friendships. I'm almost 3 yrs sober and doing well. My mom is 81 and I see her almost everyday to take out her trash and listen to her trash me. C'est la vie. (Damn, I needed to vent)

My mother is still married to the man who abused her, me & my siblings.. our entire childhood... I escaped.. so I thought... by moving in with my EXHUSBAND (boyfriend at the time) & married him at 20.. We moved out of state 5 months after we married.. Once, I was moved away.. the controlling insecure notch was turnt up to high, Dr Jeckle & Mr Hyde.. The ULTIMATE NARCISSISTS WAS REVEALED TO ME.. ALTHOUGH AT THE TIME I HAD NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THE WORD "NARCISSISTS".. I WOULDN'T BE TIL 20 YRS LATER THAT I WOULD LEARN WITH A NARCISSISTS IS.. HE RUINED MY ENTIRE LIFE..
      I GREW UP IN AN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOUSEHOLD AND I ATTRACTED AN ABUSER.. TRAUMA BONDING IS REAL...

I’m so sick of this hero shit narrative around women who cannot leave an abusive relationship where innocent bloody children are scarred for life from their inability to walk away from a deadshit. I’m 60 years old and the stain this has left in the life of myself and 5 other humans, who were innocent and unable to get away, is always there and has poisoned our lives.
    If you cannot walk away from a dangerous man then get your kids away. Give them to a loving, healthy and safe family until you can get your head right.
    It takes more courage to walk away then to stay. I’m the hero who picked up my children, pregnant with the third and fled a foreign country with them with one suitcase to get them away from an angry psycho control freak.

Feared abused, neglected & oppressed mothers raise children worse than them in every which way possible unfortunately. By staying not only they put themselves in jeopardy but more so the very children they claim to love, care & protect with their lives 😔 its got nothing to do with religion, gender, culture, age etc but the mindset, personal ideologies & choices parents make when they are raising their children coupled with genetics.

These are all factors that force women to unfortunately stay and carry on enduring abuse. I used to moan about other things about my mum, but now that I'm older I think, with some things, she just didn't know any better. She wasn't educated she was forced to do house work as a kid, she got married off at 20 and sent to UK where she didn't speak the language and the list goes on.

    To anyone here watching this and knowing they are in an abusive relationship please find your local resources and use them.
    There are domestic violence services like shelter, counseling, childcare, clothing and more.
    Shelters are usually houses that are safe houses that people don't know the location of. So you have to reach out to a local domestic violence organization to get into a shelter.
    Sometimes you will be bussed to a different city.
    Please remember everything you have pretty much can be replaced. Don't take make up, clothes etc etc. Take a journal of you have it, a phone if you can, your personal art but none of that is as important as you getting out.
    It doesn't matter how old you are, what you look like or who you are, you deserve peace and do not need to stay in this toxic place.
    This person will not change and they do not deserve any more chances. Get out and get out now.
    Take your children and go to a domestic violence place. They will call the police, get you to a medical professional, help you with shelter, show you how to fill out legal papers.
    Yes it's scary, you'll feel all alone. But that's what makes you brave, you have the courage to do this.
    Don't think about the immediate life changes as much as start envisioning your peaceful radiant future after this whole mess gets fixed.
    No one can make you do this. You have to do this for yourself. Now go. You are your strongest advocate for you and your children.
    May you be blessed.

      You must not be Australian bc there are no such resources here like that. There are only services PRETENDING to give this help, but they do not actually help you.

    This is a horrific story that should have never happened ,the system failed her. She did everything right, sought out help and support but she still lost her life. I am grateful that she has strong children and her son isn't going to be a man who is abusive like his father. The son is there for his sisters and will be a fathet roll for them. He is young but has a very strong, loving caring personality.
    My heart goes out to this family for their pain and suffering from the father and loss of their loving mother. ❤

    This is absolutely awful and the system did fail her and her children. The laws in Australia need to change and in a big way. Praying for the children. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

      The laws will only change when they figure out how to make money out of domestic violence protection for the victims. And I won't be holding my breath on that one.
