Man confesses to beheading wife while their 6 kids were home, ‘regrets nothing’
A 32-year-old man confessed to beheading his wife and flinging her head off the roof of their Berlin building while their six children were home — and he doesn't seem to regret it.When Orhan Sircasi described the grisly deed to police in a detailed confession Tuesday, he said he "regretted nothing," an investigator told Der Tagesspiegel
Ohran Sircasi admitted to killing his wife Semanur Sircasi, 30, on the rooftop terrace of their apartment building in Berlin's Kreuzberg neighborhood early Monday, the newspaper reported. The children were in the family apartment, whose windows look onto the terrace.
He described to police how he dismembered his wife's corpseand threw her head and other body parts off the rooftop into the courtyard, police sources told the Berliner Zeitung.
Neighbors called the police after hearing a violent argument coming from the terrace around 1 a.m., and watched in horror as the man stabbed his wife in the chest, cried "Allahu Akbar Sheytan" ("God is great, you Devil"), and severed her head from her body, according to the Frankfurter Rundschau.
"I heard screaming from the neighbors upstairs, and my sister said something's happening, so we all went to the window," a witness told BILD.de. "We heard how the man was yelling, and how he beat her. Finally I saw that he was holding her head in his hand, by the hair. And I heard how he threw her head on the ground."
One witness claimed that the victim was still alive as her head was being severed, according to BILD.de.
Some witnesses could barely believe what they were seeing.
"I saw the head and I thought, 'Okay, maybe it's a dummy or something,' " another resident of the Kreuzberg apartment complex told BILD.de. "But then when the police held up a light I thought, 'Oh God, that's our neighbor.
The couple was reportedly united in an arranged marriage several years ago, according to Berliner Morgenpost. Neighbors claimed Orhan had been having an affair with another woman, with whom he allegedly had two other children. A neighbor told the Morgenpost that Semanur Sircasi had said a few days before the fight that she was worried she might be pregnant again.
Investigators are waiting for the results of a toxicology report to determine whether Ohran Sircasi was under the influence of drugs the night of the murder. Neighbors told the Berliner Zeitung that Ohran Sircasi was known to do drugs, and regularly took antipsychotic medication.
A relative told the BZ that Sircasi had psychological problems, and that he suffered from "depression with schizophrenic episodes."
Other neighbors described the man as friendly and reserved, according to the Frankfurter Rundschau.
A Turkish community group has planned a vigil Tuesday night near the scene of the crime, under the slogan "Turkish men against violence and barbarism," according to the DPA news agency.
