| Nevin Yildirim |
A rape victim awaits trial as she shot and decapitated her rapist and left his head in her village square, according to news reports.
26-year-old Nevin Yildirim was raped multiple times by distant relative Nurettin Gider, 35, over a period of eight months after her husband left for work in another town in January. Gider allegedly blackmailed her with nude photos he had taken of her after sneaking into her bedroom at night. He also threatened to kill her two children, aged 2 and 6, if she did not cooperate.
After multiple rapes, on Aug. 28, Yildirim shot Gider as he was climbing up the back wall of her house to sneak in. He reached for his gun, but she shot him against in his groin area. She shot him ten times in total and stabbed him once in the abdomen. She then cut off his head and carried it to the village square at Yalvac, southwest Turkey.
She told onlookers, “Don’t talk behind my back, don’t play with my honor. Here is the head of the man who played with my honor.”
Yildirim was arrested after being reported. She told the police, “My daughter will start school this year. Everyone would have insulted my children. Now no one can. I saved my honor. They will now call children the kids of the woman who saved her honor.”
She is five months pregnant with her rapist’s child and is asking Turkish court for an abortion even though Turkey’s abortion laws have a ten-week limit.
