Home hunt for boys of murdered mum

Tragic search ... The boy's late mother Zahara Rahimzadegan.

Authorities are working to find a permanent home for two boys whose father has been charged with the murder of their mother.

Police have said Nasir Ahmadi, 46, who reported his wife missing a month ago, has made admissions about the murder of Zahara Rahimzadegan on December 16 in Ashwood. Both arrived in Australia as refugees from Iran in 1999.

They were active in their local church and worked with newly arrived migrants.


Grim find ... SES crews scour a drain at the rear of a property on HIgh Street, Ashwood, where Zahara Rahimzadegan's body was found buried under a newly-built patio.

Ahmadi is in jail after being arrested by homicide detectives, who later discovered a decomposed body in the tiny rear yard of the family's Ashwood home, under a recently built patio.

Church leaders, shocked at an arrest and murder within their community, believe a new, permanent home will be found for the children, aged 11 and 15. The boys are receiving counselling.

The Reverend Robert Carner, who spoke with Ahmadi days before he was charged on Friday, said the children needed to be placed in a good home as soon as possible.

"They are in good care, at the moment, with people who really care about them," he said after Ahmadi faced the Melbourne Magistrates Court for a filing hearing yesterday.

"They are both good kids and they are just trying to stabilise them.

"There are a couple of places that would love to have them," he told The Age.

Ahmadi, who has never been in custody before, clasped his hands in front of him, scanning the courtroom during his brief appearance.

He was remanded to face the same court on May 21.

The murder charge came after detectives dug up the backyard of the couple's unit on Friday and discovered decomposing human remains.

State Emergency Service crews also scanned adjacent creeks and woodlands around the property
