He's a "momma's boy" after all. Better late than never (!?).

In Istanbul's Sancaktepe district, Nuriye Dilmaç's father and sister 

filed a missing person report with the police, who investigated and

learned that Nuriye hanım's son and husband had killed her (!). 

Son Eren Dilmaç confessed to the murder of his mother and said

that he had gone to the dumping ground where he and his father

had buried her each month "to pay his respects to her memory" (!). 

He added that he planned to purchase the burial site and make a

grave for Nuriye hanım there. 

In total, 9 suspects were taken into custody in connection with

Nuriye hanım's death by smothering, and six of them were jailed.

                         "Everybody out of the pool!"

In Topçam village of Tokat provonce, an argument erupted between

Zihni Cankurtaran (79), who had recently returned to Tokat after

living in Greece, and his son Mustafa Cankurtaran over the sale

of property belonging to Zihni bey.  

As the father-son argument escalated, Mustafa bey pummeled his

father to death with an axe (!) and then buried the body in a storeroom

adjacent to a pool, covering it with lime to hide the stench.  The

murder came to light when Zihni bey's daughter could not reach her

father and reported him as missing to the police.
