"I TRIED TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE SHE COMMITTED SUICIDE"

In his statement, Mehmet Kurt said, "I was constantly arguing with my wife about work matters. We had problems between us because I couldn't meet her demands. On the day of the incident, I got angry and grabbed her by the throat. When I saw she was motionless, I panicked and tried to make it look like she committed suicide. I am very sorry for what I did." Mehmet Kurt was arrested after processing. Meanwhile, Emine Kurt's body was laid to rest after the autopsy completed at the Forensic Medicine Institute.
