Antalya Man Confesses to Ex-Wife’s Death, Claims Loss of Control During Argument
antalya, Turkey – A man is in custody after confessing to the death of his ex-wife, Hanım Biçer, in Antalya. The suspect, identified as Hizir Celik, allegedly used a scarf and pillow to drown Biçer following an argument, according to statements made to authorities.
The incident has deeply impacted Biçer’s family, with brothers Recep and Resul Biçer visibly distraught while claiming Celik had a history of manipulative behavior and premeditation. The case highlights the tragic consequences of domestic disputes and raises concerns about ongoing cycles of abuse. Celik was taken into custody after a health check and initial questioning, and the investigation is ongoing, with potential charges including murder.
Resul Biçer stated that Celik repeatedly attempted to deceive him and his brother, claiming he was unable to see their children after the divorce. “Khidr Celik, immediately after the divorce…every time he reaches. My brother ‘I can not look at the children’ he said. Every time he was trying to deceive,” Resul Biçer recounted.
Recep Biçer alleged the killing was a planned act, stemming from a seven to eight-year relationship that ultimately failed. ”They threw a slander to my brother. No, you betrayed me. He made the murder by planning and made a plan consciously,” he stated.
Following an autopsy, Hanım Biçer’s body was transported by her brothers and other relatives to Varsak Cemetery in the Kepez district for burial.
According to initial reports,Hizir Celik admitted to losing control during a discussion of past issues with Biçer. The couple had separated approximately eight months prior and share two sons, aged five to seven. Celik reportedly told authorities he “lost himself” when old topics were brought up, leading to the fatal incident.
