On 20 July 2014, Leyla will accuse her boyfriend of domestic violence. Mustafa has been removed from the apartment.
A few hours later he comes back and strangles her. The children are in the apartment at the time of the crime. He keeps the corpse wrapped in blankets on the balcony. Four days later, he reported to the police, accompanied by his lawyer. The corpse is completely covered with maggots.
Immediately Mustafa is accused of manslaughter.

The judge speaks of an unconditional will to destroy. The Public Prosecutor's Office had only demanded 9 years for the murder.
