Iranian businessman found beaten to death in his apartment.
Police identified the victim as Bahman Gheranfar, a 71-year-old real estate businessman who for two decades has divided his time between Paris and Recife in northeastern Brazil.
Police said Gheranfar’s body was found sprawled across his bed by an employee who had a key to his apartment.
Gheranfar had suffered several blows to his head with a blunt object. The body was found last Thursday, but he was believed to have been killed two days earlier.
