November 22, 1964 - Gholamreza Khosroo Kurdieh
Operating in Tehran through the mid-1990s, the man known as the Night Bat moved from theft and sexual violence to a series of murders before his eventual recapture — having escaped custody once already. His refusal to acknowledge the crimes in court, confessing only to property offenses despite nine murders attributed to him, underscored a pattern of evasion that defined his years of activity. He was executed in 1997, the same year of his final arrest.
