Kadriye
born: 1953
stabbed: 3 March 2014
Location: Schweinfurt
Origin: Turkey
Children: 2 daughters, 2 sons
Perpetrator: Yusuf Cevic, her divorced husband (72 years)
Kadriye is forced to get married at the age of 14 in Turkey. Her husband Yusuf goes to Germany seven years later as a guest worker and starts a second partnership with a German woman. He brings his eldest son to Germany. This son, however, does not process the news of the lateral marriage very well and goes back to Turkey.
In 1986 Yusuf brought his wife and two children to Germany. He ends the other relationship.
On March 3, 2014, Yusuf will be stabbing his wife at a bus stop in Schweinfurt. Before that - as witnesses in court said - he roared: "I'll ram the knife in your stomach and pull it through to your throat. Passers-by are holding the perpetrator. The victim is taken to a clinic. First, it was said that after an emergency operation, she was out of danger. Three weeks later, she died. A warrant is issued for the arrest of Yusuf. He uses his right to refuse to testify.
The process starts in November. Yusuf testifies that his wife has cursed him. His children testify that the perpetrator has always been a violent father and husband. There had been death threats before.
The age of the spouses is quite unusual for a honour killing. The public staging, on the other hand, indicates that the perpetrator wants to restore his honour for the whole world. Witnesses declare in court that Yusuf called his wife a whore and slut at the time of the crime, which also points to an honor motive.
In January 2015, the regional court of Schweinfurt will sentence the perpetrator to life imprisonment.
