This is a story told by an Iraqi officer who says: There was a man who worked as a butcher. Every day he would take the cattle and slaughter them in this condition. One day he saw a woman in the street stabbed with a knife. He got out of his car to help her and took the knife out of her. Then people came and saw him and accused him of killing her. The police came to investigate him. He swore to them by God that he was not the one who killed her, but they did not believe him. They took him and put him in prison. They investigated him for two months. When the time for execution came, he said to them: I want you to hear this from me before you execute me. I used to work on boats before I became a butcher. I would take people on the Euphrates River from one bank to the other. One day, when I was transporting people, a beautiful woman I liked got on the boat. I went to her house to propose to her, but she rejected me. A year later, the same woman got on with me, and with her was a small child, her son. I tried to get to her, but she rejected me. I tried again and again, but she rejected me every time. I threatened her with her child. If she did not get to her, I would throw him into the river. I put… His head was in the river and he was screaming at the top of his voice, but she became more stubborn and I kept putting his head in the water until his voice stopped, so I threw him in the river and killed his mother, then I sold the boat and worked as a butcher, and here I am receiving my punishment. As for the real killer, search for him
