Yesterday evening in the Hüsamettin Çelebi neighborhood of Konya's central Selçuklu district, a man named Bekir Durmaz (53) called his wife Elif Durmaz (37), who was in the process of separating from him, and asked to go shopping for their children's needs. 

After Elif Durmaz, who was living at her sister's house, accepted her husband's offer, Bekir Durmaz picked her up in his car with license plate 42 ADD 102. Later, an argument broke out between the two due to jealousy. During the argument, Bekir Durmaz stabbed Elif Durmaz in various parts of her body with a knife he had with him.
