                             Father knows best (!).

Osman Nuri K., who lives in Osmaniye, and his ex-wife Hatice K.

agreed to divorce so Hatice hanım went to live with their daughter

in Eskişehir.  She also obtained a legal judgment to keep her 

whereabouts secret from her ex-husband.

Nevertheless, Osman Nuri bey went to Eskişehir's Odunpazarı district

and learned where his wife and daughter were living.  He lay in ambush

for them from midnight until morning, when, at seven-thirty, his

daughter Merve Karabaş (31) and his grandson Ata Alp (7) came out of

the house and got into a car in front of their house.  

At this point, Osman Nuri bey sprayed the car with bullets, killing 

Merve hanım. Young Ata Alp fled from the car but his grandfather shot 

him in the back, killing him (!).  Ex-wife Hatice hanım, who had gone 

to the corner to throw some trash away, escaped the attack by her 

ex-husband.

Local residents intervened and wanted to lynch Osman Nuri bey but

police arrived in time to prevent it.  Osman Nuri bey was arrested and

jailed.  He "explained" that he was angry with daughter Merve hanım

for harboring Hatice hanım.
