FIRST HE SENT A SHOULD, THEN HE STABBED THEM
Allegedly, Arif T. (56), who started threatening Ayşe Katırcı, whom he divorced 10 years ago, first sent a shroud to his ex-wife, then threatened her with death by saying "I bought you a grave site."

While Katırcı, who was in a coma for 4 days, was clinging to life, the suspected ex-husband was caught and arrested by the court.
HE SENT A MESSAGE: "I WILL COMPLETE THE WORK I LEAVED UNHALF"
Ayşe Katırcı, who lost strength in her right hand after the attack and had difficulty in continuing her daily life due to the pain in her body, said that her ex-husband continued to threaten her from prison.
Describing the process he went through, Katırcı said, "Maybe I'm breathing now, but I'm not living. I've become half a human. I've already died a thousand times during the hospital process, and I'm still the same way. If I had made my voice heard first, I wouldn't have come to this situation. He stabbed me in 13-14 places. I can't use my hands, I can't use any part of me. I can only breathe, but I can't even be happy to breathe because of the pain I'm going through."
HE SENT A DEATH MESSAGE WITH HIS GRANDSON
Claiming that his ex-wife still threatens to kill him, Katırcı stated that his grandson told him the words he heard during the prison visit and said:
"When my grandson went to the prison for an interview, he sent me a message saying, 'The state will punish me for a year or two, and when I get out, I will complete my unfinished work and come back.' In other words, he was determined to kill me. When the children went to reproach him, the child came to me and said, 'Grandma, he is going to kill you.' I was surprised."
"I DON'T HAVE THE FINANCIAL ENERGY TO ESCAPE FROM ADANA"
Stating that he is worried about his life safety, Katırcı stated that he cannot leave Adana due to financial difficulties and said, "I do not have a chance to live anyway, I am aware of this. I have no exit point. I cannot escape from Adana because I do not have a financial situation, I cannot go anywhere. I trust the punishment that our state will give. My only wish is that he receive a good punishment in return for the pain he has caused. I still want to be the voice of women. When I look at the news, I constantly see women being killed. I do not want it to stay like this."
