Leyla was born in Germany and engaged at the age of 14 to a Turk in Turkey whom she does not know. She runs away, but is brought back by the police. She is then married off by her family in 1991.
At age 17, Leyla wants a divorce, but she suddenly disappears. The Youth Care Agency is called in several times. However, the personnel of the Youth Welfare Office withdrew on the view that the return of Leyla, who is not yet of age, to her parents could not be avoided. On the night of February 9, 1993, the father kills his daughter and dismembers her. He buries the torso in the forest. He disposes of the other parts of the body with the garbage. A week later, Leyla's parents leave for Turkey with five children. Three other older siblings have already left home and presumably remain in Germany.
On March 9, 1993, the police find her body. Leyla's parents are arrested the next day in Antakya in southeastern Turkey. The father confesses. For this he receives a Turkish prison sentence of 1 year and 6 months.
