On August 28, at least five months pregnant by a man who she said continued to rape her, Yildirim said she decided she had had enough. Gider was climbing up the back wall of her house. “I knew he was going to rape me again,” she said at her preliminary hearing August 30. She said she grabbed her father-in-law’s rifle that was hanging on the wall and she shot him. He tried to draw his gun and she fired again.
“I chased him,” she said. “He fell on the ground. He started cussing. I shot his sexual organ this time. He became quiet. I knew he was dead. I then cut his head off.” Witnesses described Yildirim walking into the village square, carrying the man’s head by his hair, blood dripping on the ground.
“Don’t talk behind my back, don’t play with my honor,” Yildirim said to the men sitting in the coffee house on the square. “Here is the head of the man who played with my honor.”

This is Turkey we’re talking about, not Syria. The same Turkey that’s been working hard to maintain their secularized government and be respected in the eyes of the Western world for several decades now.
I expect her to be convicted of something where she’ll serve a year or two in prison – since her reaction was still extreme and it’s not a pure self-defense case.
I sort of have mixed feelings about this. If he was routinely raping her, then bravo, but what evidence is there yet that he was in fact raping her. As far as I know it is her word against his.

Turkey is very good at covering its dirty laundry.
Terrorists lurk there and they are funded in the region too. Islam has a grip on Turkey that many people do not yet realise and they are acting all goodey-two-shoes because they want to get in the EU and access the slush funds.
