(Hürriyet Newspaper, 21 March 2021)

In Bayındır, Izmir, Hüsnü Tümen (31), who was in divorce proceedings

with his wife Serap Tümen, shot his wife and her mother Serpil 

Palalı (49) to death with a hunting rifle.  Emerging from the house,

Tümen also shot and killed neighbor Hamza Kuzucuk (45).  

Tümen fled after the incident but was captured and taken into custody

by police.  An hour earlier, Tümen had posted a gruesome message on

social media of the 'angel of death'  holding a sign that read "I haven't 

got much to do. But don't think I've forgotten you."  Also, the day before

Tümen had posted a photo of his children with the message "You are my

only reality. Never forget this."  

Tümen and his wife's divorce hearing was scheduled for 23 March.  He

was taken to jail yesterday and the victims were buried in Bayındır. In

his statement to police, Tümen said "While I was in jail (!), I heard that

my wife was living with D.A. so I filed for divorce.  But D.A. began to

threaten me so I went to the house took her phone and read her messages.

I shot both my wife and mother-in-law.  Then I was going to shoot

myself but Hamza Kuzucuk intervened and was accidentally shot."
