Body of young woman found in barn fire, authorities suspect homicide

The body of a 21-year-old woman was found burned in a barn on Sept. 25 in the Artuklu district of the southeastern province of Mardin, as authorities suspect the incident was a homicide and have detained some of the victim's family members, as reported by daily Akşam.
The body of Ayşe Akyüz was found after a fire erupted in a barn in the town's Sulak neighborhood. After the fire was extinguished with the help of local residents, the victim was identified by her necklace. Initiating an inspection into the incident, the gendarmerie sought testimonies from the victim's two brothers.

Further into the inspection, authorities found evidence that the fire was set deliberately and that the victim's death was a homicide, as her chin and wrists were found to be broken and cuts were detected on her throat.   
The woman's body was sent to Mardin Public Hospital for autopsy, while gendarmes detained family members over the incident. Authorities also suspected the role of a man in the killing who reportedly harassed Akyüz in the past and was a substance user.Istanbul welcomes third bridge over BosphorusLife in Jarablus after liberation from ISIL through the lens of Hürriyet reporter Selçuk ŞamiloğluGreenpeace's Rainbow Warrior traverses Istanbul's BosphorusHalfeti - A town of mesmerizing beautyExhibition shows Istanbul through eyes of children Secret weapons of Turkish army: locally produced rocket launchers, missile systemsThe bugs of Ankara: The weirdest scenes that anyone can run into in Turkish capitalA bird's eye view tour of Turkey's eastern provinces of Van and HakkariTurkish man with four wives has his 32nd childAirbus sunk for divers in Turkey's touristic Kuşadası
