In Episode 3 of Why Killers Kill, we uncover the horrifying story of Saeed Hanaei, known as the Spider Killer of Mashhad. Between 2000–2001, Hanaei brutally murdered 16 women in one of Iran’s holiest cities, sparking nationwide debates over morality, religion, and justice.

Was he a monster shaped by childhood trauma and humiliation, or a man who hid behind ideology to justify violence? From his abusive upbringing to his twisted sense of jihad, this case forces us to confront uncomfortable truths about society, misogyny, and the dangers of victim-blaming.

🎥 This episode dives deep into:

• Hanaei’s traumatic childhood and war experience 🩸
• His distorted view of women and rise as the “Spider Killer”
• The shocking trial, execution, and public reaction in Iran
• How his crimes still echo in debates on women’s rights today

⚖️ Not just a story of one killer—but of a society divided between justice and justification.

👇 Tell us in the comments: Was Hanaei a product of trauma, or simply evil?
