According to the report, he was hanged in public, on the spot where he had allegedly committed the murder.

Public hangings were halted in January 2008 after an order from the head of Iranian judiciary Mr. Shahroudi and due to international attention on public executions in Iran.

However there have been several reports on public hangings in Iran in 2008. The executions in the below picture are from Borazjan 2008.
