Turkish man ‘kills daughter’ because she refused to tell him where her mother was

A Turkish man has allegedly killed his daughter in horrific and violent circumstances after she refused to tell him where his ex-wife was.

Mustafa Ali Yilmaz, 69, allegedly crashed into his daughter’s car, dragged her out of the vehicle and shot her 20 times after she refused to tell him where her mother was, according to Turkish police.

His daughter, Gulnur Yilmaz, 28, a GP, refused to answer her father’s questions during the June 2019 incident in Balikesir in southern Turkey, and he then allegedly fatally shot her in the head.

Gulnur had been on a trip with two friends from Balikesir to Antalya as they prepared for an exam.

Her father had allegedly attached a GPS device to her car and followed her as she drove, before crashing into vehicle, causing it to leave the road.

He then dragged her from the vehicle and demanded to know where her mother was, according to police.

When she refused to tell him, he then allegedly shot her 20 times. Of the shots, 11 bullets hit her head.

Mr Yilmaz then fled the scene on foot but was captured by local police allegedly still with the gun in his possession.

Mr Yilmaz was divorced from the victim’s mother, Gulden Yilmaz, in January 2020.

In an earlier hearing at Balikesir Burhaniye High Criminal Court, Mr Yilmaz told the court he was mentally unstable.

The court then adjourned pending a psychological assessment of the defendant.

He faces life in prison if convicted of murdering his daughter.
