Nuran lives separate from her husband. On 28 October 2017 she meets him at the Limburg train station. He may have ambushed her there. Or the couple met to talk about custody of the two children.

In front of the eyes of their children, he attacks them with a knife. Nuran collapses seriously injured. The 10-year-old daughter tries to protect the mother and is injured at the hand. The perpetrator flees.

Rescue workers take the mother to the hospital. The perpetrator is arrested shortly after, the knife is confiscated. The children come to acquaintances.

In June 2018, the offender is sentenced to 9 years in prison by the Limburg Regional Court for attempted murder and dangerous assault. In the justification it is said that the crime was the culmination of years of humiliation and violence against the wife - before the eyes of their children. With the murder attempt the perpetrator wanted to punish his ex-wife for not subordinating herself to his will.
