A brutal crime involving a 46-year-old man who killed his wife with 16 stab wounds and his daughter with 12 stab wounds occurred just after midnight on Wednesday in Erzurum, Turkey.

According to Turkish media, Zulkuf Boskun stabbed to death his 44-year-old nurse wife Kadriye after an argument and his 20-year-old daughter, Asude, when she tried to stop him.

According to the first information, the double murder took place at 00:20 in an apartment on the fifth floor of an apartment building in Erzerum.

The picture that the Turkish police have formed is that the 23-year-old was waiting for his father and sisters who had visited him to fall asleep before starting a fight with his wife whom he suspected of cheating on him.

Hearing the fight, Asude, the third of four children in the family, went to the bedroom where her parents were. At one point Zulkuf, who reportedly suffered from psychological problems, took a bread knife from the kitchen and attacked, fatally injuring his wife and daughter.

When the perpetrator's sisters heard the voices of mother and daughter, they entered the room and tried to take the knife from Zulkouf's hands, who, however, continued to stab the two victims.

After mother and daughter fell unconscious from bleeding, Zhulkuf made it to her feet before being arrested a few hours later.

The 46-year-old worked for 23 years as a Geography teacher in schools and had been hospitalized for psychological problems.
