Jilted lover stabs university student in Turkey's north

A university student stabbed a classmate he had allegedly fallen in love with after learning she had a boyfriend in the northern province of Bolu on Oct. 13.

U?ur Aydemir, 21, who was studying at Abant ?zzet Baysal University?s vocational school in Bolu?s Gerede district, began to disturb Dilay Gül, a classmate of his whom he had allegedly fallen in love with. Aydemir approached Gül at around 10:30 p.m. on Oct. 13 as she was on her way to her dormitory and talking to her boyfriend on the phone. Aydemir stabbed Gül many times before eventually slitting her throat upon learning that she was talking to her boyfriend. He later hid the girl?s dead body in a patch of grass and fled the scene.

Meanwhile, students residing in the dormitory informed the police of the incident after they heard screams.

Police detained Aydemir a short time later near his house as Gül?s boyfriend had recorded the phone conversation.

In addition, a friend of Gül?s said that Aydemir was constantly consuming alcohol, adding that he might have psychological problems.
