68-year-old Asya Ç. killed by spouse in Nusaybin

In Mardin's Nusaybin district, 68-year-old Asya Ç. was killed by her husband S.Ç. with a knife. Following the incident, the suspect S.Ç. was detained by security forces. The report did not include details about the exact time of the attack or the address where it occurred. Whether S.Ç. will be arrested will become clear following an investigation to be conducted by the Nusaybin Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.

The incident occurred during a period when violence against women remains a chronic problem in Turkey. According to data from the Platform to Stop Femicides, more than twenty women lose their lives each month on average in 2025. Nusaybin and surrounding districts are listed among high-risk areas in this region. Women's organizations and opposition parties have long criticized the government for failing to effectively enforce existing legal measures aimed at preventing violence against women. The course of the investigation will continue to be monitored.
