The chilling confession from the murderous husband: I strangled my wife to death.

Once again, a woman was murdered by her husband during the divorce process. This time, the tragic news came from Manisa. Selda Eller was strangled to death by her husband Gökhan Eller, with whom she was in the process of getting a divorce. While Selda Eller’s body was taken to the hospital morgue, Gökhan Eller went to the police station, confessed to killing his wife, and surrendered.

HE HAD OBTAINED A RESTRAINING ORDER

The incident occurred around 6:30 PM in an apartment on the ground floor of a site in the Güzelyurt neighborhood. Gökhan Eller, who was reported to have started working at Yunusemre Municipality about a month ago, and Selda Eller, who operated a beauty salon, had decided to divorce amicably due to family issues some time ago. While waiting for a court date, it is alleged that Selda Eller called her husband Gökhan Eller and told him to come home today to collect his belongings. When Gökhan Eller arrived home, a dispute broke out when he learned that his wife had obtained a one-month restraining order against him.
