Couple killed landlord for honour killing after accusing him of rape

This is wickedness in the highest order!!! There was mayhem at Alsancak on Tuesday when a couple attacked their landlord and stabbed him to death in what they describe as honour killing.

Memduh Ulgün, 53 was stabbed to death by his tenant and his wife on Tuesday afternoon at Zeytinlik Street in Alsancak.

The couple, Meryem Doğu, 35 and Mehmet, 39 had tired to escape but was prevented from escaping by people who alerted the police.

According to the couple who confessed to the murder, Mehmet claimed he suspected that Memduh Ulgün was allegedly having an affair with his wife Meryem. While Ulgun denied the allegations of "harassment or rape", Meryem insisted that he harassed and raped her.

Mehmet confessed that he then planned with his wife to murder Memduh Ulgün which they describe as "honor killing." And according to Meryem, her husband has committed the murder to prove himself.

A report by Turkish Cypriot daily, Havadis say the couple had reported the issue to the police a week before the murder.

Meryem who expressed her fear of being killed by the man's family in police custody said her husband, Mehmet had planned to kill the landlord the day before.

According to the plan, Meryem had called Memduh Ulgun'u on phone to come to the scene. He then drove to their apartment. On arriving the venue, Mehmet approached him in the car and stabbed him in the chest with a knife. 

The victim while trying to remove the knife from his chest and escape, was prevented from escaping by Meryem who rushed to the scene.

Mehmet then went ahead to stab him up to about five times with the help of his wife killing him on the spot.

They were brought to a Girne court on Wednesday under heavy security and charge with murder and illegal knife possession.
