Hürriyet: The woman who killed her rapist: I don’t want his baby

Isparta – Nevin Yildirim was raped at gunpoint and left pregnant by N.G. and subsequently killed him with a hunting rifle, decapitated him and threw his head in the village square. In a statement in court, she said, “Nobody will be able to say anything to my children. Everybody will say ‘They are the children of a woman who cleaned her honor’.” Stating that she didn’t want to give birth to the five month old baby in her belly, Nevin said, “Come what may, an abortion should be done. I am ready to die.”

Nevin, a 26 year old mother of two, was raped at gunpoint and left pregnant by N.G., a 35 year old father of two. Last Tuesday at 10 PM, she killed him with a hunting rifle, and then decapitated him with a knife and put his head in a sack. Shouting, “This is the head of the man who played with my honor,” she threw the head into the village square. Afterwards, she was taken into custody by the gendarmerie and was referred to the court system yesterday. (...)
