A rare happy ending for the lady involved in such events.
Ahsen Nur Paşalı (27), the mother of two children and then
living in Ankara, filed for divorce from her husband of
7 years Okan Paşalı (30) because he beat her. Okan bey was
taken into custody but released on judicial supervision,
prompting Ahsan Nur hanım to take refuge with her older
sister in Amasra district of Bartın province, 300 kilometers
from Ankara.
Last year on 27 August, Okan bey went to Bartın with a
friend and shot at Ahsan Nur hanım walking on the sidewalk
with a "pompalı tüfenk" (pump-action rifle). She suffered only
superficial scrapes and was released from a hospital.
Meanwhile, Okan bey and his friend U.G. fled to Cide
district of Kastamonu province, where they were arrested.
Okan bey got the worst of it.
A criminal case was opened against the two suspects, with
a sentence of from 13 to 20 years requested. The first
hearing in the case occurred the day before yesterday,
with Okan bey "explaining" that "on the day of the incident
I got out of my car and asked her 'where are my children?',
to which she responded 'are you their father?' (!). Hearing
this I grabbed the pumpalı tüfenk I keep in my car and
tried to scare her with it, firing at her feet. I wasn't trying
to kill her and I hadn't planned any such thing."
As for Ahsen Nur hanım, she told the court that "He had
been sending me messages for a few days before the incident
and continually harassing my family. For example, he broke
the windows at my father's workplace. He wasn't aiming at
my feet, he aimed directly to kill me."
Hapless U.G. said that he had only come along for the ride,
with the idea of having a vacation (!). He added that he did
not know Ahsen Nur hanım and pleaded for acquittal. The
court ruled that Okan bey's incarceration will continue as
the trial proceeds, but that U.G. would be released on
judicial supervision.
