                       Aspired to be Iraq's Ted Bundy.

Emine Özkaya (23) went to Poland to attend a university there

but secretly returned to Istanbul on 2 December 2018, without

informing her family, and went to the home of her boyfriend

Iraqi Amjed Mohsin Mohammed in Eskişehir.  Emine hanım

was never heard from again (!). 

Now, in 2025, the blood of  a woman and four men have been

found in the Iraqi's Eskişehir home.  He was given a life sentence

in 2021 for the murder and dismemberment of Sally Ali Challab 

Al-Abbood (20), the daughter of one of Saddam Hüseyin's

commanders (!).  

Presently in the Eskişehir E-Type Prison serving a life

sentence, the Iraqi claims that he didn't know Emine hanım

but the public prosecutor asserts, based on an abundance of

evidence, that he should be tried for her murder, too. 

On the assumption that Amjed Mohsin Mohammed is a 

serial killer, DNA samples from all of his possible victims 

are being examined at the police forensic laboratory. 

The resemblance is uncanny...
