News recently emerged from Izmir, Turkey, of a tragic incident, with one of those involved being Ridvan Kahraman, who fatally shot his wife in the head.
Kahraman reportedly claimed that it was a dispute over cryptocurrency investments that led to the shooting, which occurred in Izmir’s Konak neighborhood on June 21.
Ridvan Kahraman, 32, called his 31-year-old wife Fatma Kahraman, who had moved in with her sister after she left their home. During the confrontation, Ridwan shot Fatma three times because she did not want to go home, resulting in her death.
According to Sabah, a Turkish media, Kahraman allegedly borrowed money to invest in cryptocurrency having lost 150,000 lira (about $4,500).
It was this that led to a dispute with his wife as he lied to her that he had repaid the loan.
Kahraman further alleged:
However, when she saw my bill, she found out the truth and we quarrelled again. During the argument, I shot my wife. I deeply regret it.
