Muslim Honour Killing

SBS: Source AFP

A Turkish Kurd was jailed for at least 22 years in Britain on Thursday for murdering his 15-year-old daughter in what prosecutors said was an honour killing.

Mehmet Goren, described in court as a psychotic bully who terrorised his family, was handed a life sentence for killing his daughter Tulay because of her relationship with an older man who belonged to a different branch of Islam.

The London schoolgirl disappeared in January 1999, shortly after her father told his eight-year-old son to kiss his sister goodbye as he would never see her again. Her body was never found.

Goren's wife Hanim, who had suffered three decades of abuse at his hands, was among those who gave evidence against him, weeping and screaming in the witness box and demanding he reveal where the body was so she could bury it.

One of his other daughters, Nuray Guler, also testified against him, screaming: "Even animals would not do what you have done."

Prosecution lawyer Jonathan Laidlaw told the court that the Goren case was a "terrible reminder of what honour-based crime can involve" and a "wake-up call" to the existence of so-called "honour killings" in Britain.

Police had become involved with the family in the weeks before the murder, when Goren beat up his daughter's boyfriend, Halil Unal, then complained about their relationship to officers and demanded she take a virginity test.

Tulay ran away and told police her father had beaten her and she would rather go into care than return home, but her mother persuaded her to go back.

Goren attacked his daughter's boyfriend for a second time just 13 days after Tulay went missing, this time with a hatchet, and it was while in hospital that Unal reported his girlfriend missing.

But police failed to put two and two together and it was two months before they began to suspect Tulay had been murdered. They submitted a file to prosecutors in 2000 but were told there was not enough evidence for charges.

Goren was finally arrested in 2008, along with his two brothers, after a review. Both his brothers were cleared of wrongdoing in court Thursday.

An ethnic Kurd from Elbistan in Turkey, Goren had moved to Britain claiming asylum in 1996. He was jailed in 2000 for his hatchet attack on Unal but escaped deportation because his family all lived in Britain.

The 49-year-old admitted hitting his daughter and wife but denied murder, saying he still believed Tulay was alive and "will turn up one day".

If people move to any advanced civilisation they must ditch their backward, ignorant traditions. Islam is a slaving ideology that is so violent that ALL Muslimas are expected to dress in such a way that the extent of the ear-clipping, smashed bodies and faces are hidden; that's Islamic decency. We need to help Muslims escape Islam and that does not mean accepting Islam, it is an occultist, apartheid slave system established by a child molesting bandit.

@ritchloui,

Very well said.

Islam is the mother of all whores and the father of all prostitutes. Islam must be destroyed.

@sansulott it will end definitely in our own life.

I always wonder why these honour killings are mainly found in Muslim societies. I also always wonder why Muslims do not want to ditch their cultures and customs once they migrate to the west and adopt western cultures. If this is difficult then why dont they stay and die in their corrupt and poor countries instead of causing havoc to western societies. It is not good for someone to accept you in his house and then you shit on that person. this is what muslims are doing.

I bet she liked that guy and wanted to run away with him because of her dad. He looks mean. No telling what he did to her while she was growing up.
