ISTANBUL, TURKEY
Just hours after the psychological warfare minister of the terrorist Turkish State, Süleyman Soylu, claimed the rate of women deaths has decreased drastically, the image of a body and the name of the perpetrator written in blood swept the internet.
Nurtaç Canan, who was shot by her husband who she had been married to for 23 years, was found in the living room of her home in the Zeytinburnu district of Istanbul covered in blood.
Nurtaç reportedly divorced the perpetrator due to the systematic violence she experienced in the first year of her marriage, but later remarried the perpetrator Ragıp Canan. On 5 June, Ragip shot his wife Canan after she attempted to leave.
While the perpetrator escaped from the scene, taking his phone and debit cards, Nurtaç wrote a message to her family with her blood: “Mother, Father farewell. Ragip shot me. I am free.”
