Turkish man detained over killing, dismembering wife
2015-02-20
[Hurriyet Daily News] A mentally ill Turkish man has been detained for allegedly murdering his wife and dumping her dismembered body at a garbage dump in Istanbul -- the latest grisly killing of a woman in Turkey.

The murder came amid public anger over the murder and attempted rape of 20-year-old female student Özgecan Aslan by a bus driver last week.

The man, 43-year-old Tahir Kart, reported his wife missing on Feb. 18 but later confessed to having stabbed her "in a fit of rage", Dogan News Agency has reported.

Kart, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia 11 years ago, reportedly told police that he had chopped his wife's body into pieces and later dumped it.
