According to the security report, the Operations Room of Ministry of Interior received information on the fateful day about the death of an elderly Lebanese woman in Keifan area. Her daughter informed the police that her mother was suffering from old age problems and has gasped her last breath.
However, the daughter, during investigations, admitted to killing her mother after battering her for about ten minutes until she died. The reason was that her mother refused to go with her to visit the grave of her deceased father.

The incident happened a year ago. According to a report received by the Environment Protection Department at the Ministry of Interior the American is a dog trainer and the Nepali is a nurse.
