Başak Gürkan Arslan, a senior engineer living in a detached house in the Kardelen neighborhood of the Yenimahalle district and working as a civil servant at the 5th Main Maintenance Factory Directorate under the MSB Military Factories General Directorate, met with her estranged husband and father-in-law at her home.
A dispute broke out between the parties. The father-in-law, Kudret Arslan, repeatedly stabbed his 46-year-old daughter-in-law Başak in front of his son and 5-year-old granddaughter.
HE CAUGHT HER AGAIN WHILE SHE WAS ASKING FOR HELP

THEY WERE DETAINED
Police and medical teams were dispatched to the address upon notification. It was determined that Arslan had lost her life under the control of the medical personnel. Kudret Arslan and his son were detained by the police. The couple's children were taken into protective custody. Relatives of Başak Gürkan Arslan, who arrived after hearing the news, wept.
HE CONFESSED
Kudret Arslan stated in his first statement that they came together to talk because he had cheated on his daughter-in-law and that he lost control and committed the murder during that time.
