“I had to hurt her – to educate her,” said the Turk about the alleged attempted murder of his ex-wife, who had just come from the police! She wanted help, so he stabbed her 11 times. The police only issued orders by telephone. The 47-year-old was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment by the Vienna Criminal Court – not definitively.
There have already been evictions, visitation bans of the daughters and court proceedings – he became violent towards the children. The sad climax of the martyrdom: her ex-husband allegedly tried to kill the 42-year-old at the beginning of this year.
Arranged marriage with beatings and threats
In 2003 they got married in Turkey. Not for love, but for family, explains the Viennese. “He is the epitome of a patriarch. His wife is his property,” the public prosecutor typifies. Corporal punishment followed what the defendant describes as ‘disobedience’. “I was so scared!” said the woman in tears. Only in 2019 does she dare to file for divorce.
Distraction due to violence against daughter
The children did not want to see their father. Especially after incidents in which they were also injured. At the court, the suspect got away with a diversionary maneuver and a visitation ban. According to the mother, the knife, which disappeared after the 47-year-old left the shared apartment, should not have interested the court.
Directions by phone only
A few months later, her ex-husband stabbed her 11 times with one of the kitchen knives – just as she was coming from the police station. To report that her husband threatened to kill her if he was not allowed to see the children. The officials only gave him instructions over the phone. Only a helping doctor could save her life. “I just wanted to scare them,” said the accused Turk. He was only stabbed four times. “Then who caused the other seven stitches?” Judge Christoph Bauer asked incredulously.
The final sentence, which was not final, was life imprisonment for attempted murder. The verdict of the jury, whose deliberation lasted only a short time, was unanimous. The defendant filed a nullity complaint and appealed.
