20-year-old Turkish woman brutally murdered, body burned

[-SINAN-]

Twenty-year-old Özgecan Aslan was a phycology student at Çağ University in Mersin.

The burned body of a 20-year-old female student who had been missing for two days was discovered Feb. 13 in a riverbed near Tarsus district of the southern province of Mersin.

Three suspects have been detained for stabbing Özgecan Aslan to death and later burning her remains.

The family of Aslan, who was a phycology student at Çağ University, had filed a missing report with the police on Feb. 11 after failing to contact her. As the search for the missing girl continued, gendarmerie forces stopped a minibus on Feb. 12 on suspicion.

The gendarmerie found blood stains and a hat in the minibus. The driver of the vehicle, 26-year-old S.A., his 50-year-old father N.A. and 20-year-old F.A. were detained when the victim’s father recognized the hat and said it belonged to his daughter.

During the interrogation, N.A. and F.G. admitted to the crime. According to the suspects’ testimonies, Aslan was the last passenger on the minibus and S.A. drove the vehicle to a remote location.

When he attempted to rape the woman, she fought back and used pepper spray against her attacker. S.A. then stabbed Aslan several times and hit her with an iron pipe and killed.

After the murder, S.A. went back home with the body and asked for his father and friend’s help to get rid of the body. The three then tried to burn Aslan’s body to get rid of the evidence.

The remains of a woman were found Feb. 13 at the location the suspects gave. One of Özgecan Aslan’s close friends, who was with her on the day she went missing, failed to identify the severely damaged body, but she said the clothes on the body matched what Aslan wore the day she disappeared.

“We were together at the school until noon, then we went shopping, ate something and got on a minibus to get home,” the witness said.

“I got off near my home and she stayed on the minibus to go home. I later learned that she did not go home and was missing.”

The gendarmerie and the police have launched an investigation to find out the details and the reasons of the murder.

People are extremely angry... there have been calls for re-initiation of the capital punishment. Even one of ministers said that we should bring back the capital punishment system.

This girl resembles my cousin who is at the same age... I'm extremely furious. Government should put the decision of capital punishment to public vote...

Will there be a vote about it? Why i havent read about it? I would be very surprised if they do so, this would mean the end of EU negotiations.

Our women have been suffering a lot in the past 10 years. Violence against women has been skyrocketing in the past decade. Around 300 women are murdered annually.

Please backup your claims with various and reliable sources and after that if your claim is true, please explain what kind of changes may have been caused the increasing violence against women in last 10 years ?

Their lives are a liability, you cannot guarantee they won't get free somehow. Death is the best conclusion, but the only thing which makes me doubt about implementing it now. can our judges be reliable to make correct statements at all time. For example Reis bey.

And by extending their lives you are actually being merciful on the criminal and merciless against the relatives. The criminal is still living and unless its something like OZ he will have a reasonable life. Best example at the moment Breivik. The relatives now have to live on with the knowledge that this criminal is alive while their child is death, and to add salt to injury they have to pay people to guard him and money to give the criminal a minimal living(a.k.a taxpayers money).

But if we implement the death penalty I can already see the European headlines.
