In an incident that occurred this morning in Pendik, 35-year-old Sevilay Karlı, a mother of 3 who worked at a hospital, had divorced 43-year-old Ümit Karlı 5 months ago due to severe incompatibility.

The court granted custody of the children to Ümit Karlı. It is alleged that Sevilay Karlı went to her ex-husband's house yesterday with her boyfriend to pick up her children. Upon this, Ümit Karlı said, "Do not bring this man into the house while my children are here." Following the argument, the young woman took her children and went to her home in Pendik.

Ümit Karlı intercepted his ex-wife Sevilay Karlı at the Esenyalı Bridge and stabbed her 17 times, killing her. After the incident, Ümit Karlı was taken into custody by teams from the Pendik District Police Department's Public Security Bureau.

"I TOLD HER NOT TO BRING HER LOVER HOME, SHE DIDN'T LISTEN, I KILLED HER"

It was learned that in his statement, Ümit Karlı said, "We divorced 5 months ago from Sevilay, who is also my relative. We have 3 children. I have their custody. She came with her lover last night to pick up the children. I warned her not to bring her lover home while my children were there. But she didn't listen to me. After we argued, she took the children and left. I waited in front of her house in the morning. When she came out to go to work, I wanted to talk again. But she didn't listen to me. At that moment, I lost control and started stabbing randomly."

SHE HAD PREVIOUSLY FILED A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT WITH THE PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE

The body of Sevilay Karlı, who was stabbed 17 times, was taken to the Forensic Medicine Institute for an autopsy. Her ex-husband, Ümit Karlı, was referred to the courthouse after his statement. It was learned that Sevilay Karlı had previously filed a criminal complaint with the prosecutor's office because she had been threatened with death by her ex-husband, Ümit Karlı, who had agreed to a consensual divorce in exchange for custody of the children.
