Meral K. born 1978
shot: 27 November 2010
Residence: Rüsselsheim (near Frankfurt/M.)
Origin: probably Turkey
Children: 3 children (aged 12 and 8 at the time of the crime and an infant)
Perpetrator: her husband Seyfi (age 41)
On November 27, 2010, Seyfi, a trained industrial mechanic, runs into the street in front of his house and screams that he has killed his wife. Neighbors call the police. The perpetrator gets himself arrested.
The emergency doctor finds the mother of three, Meral, covered in blood in the apartment, but cannot save her. They say her stomach has been ripped open.
In July 2011, Seyfi is admitted indefinitely by the district court of Darmstadt to the psychiatric ward, where he had been since his arrest. So possibly in this case the motive is not honor, but delusion.
