Anna born: 1961
beaten to death: 8 December 2008
Residence: Essen
Origin: Turkey
Children: at least one son
Perpetrator: her husband, aged 62 at the time of the crime.
In the marriage between Anna and her Turkish husband, violence occurs frequently. The police evict him from the apartment several times and issue restraining orders.
But on December 8, 2008, Anna's husband kills her in her sleep. He leaves her covered in blood in the apartment and flees to his son (or stepson).
Witnesses see him drive away in a cab around 10 a.m. In the afternoon, family members find the body and alert the police. The perpetrator is arrested at his son's house and initially admitted to a psychiatric hospital. There his culpability is to be investigated.
Further details are missing. So it remains unclear whether this case is an honor killing. The real names of victim and perpetrator are also unknown. The WAZ reported on this case on 9.12.2008 (unfortunately no longer online). Any information would make us happy!
