A Turkish husband who told police his wife fell from a clifftop has been arrested after cops found he searched how to kill someone by pushing them from a height.
The case in which the man claimed his dead wife had wanted to take a picture mirrors a similar one involving another Turkish man, Hakan Aysal, 40, who was jailed for life for pushing his seven-month-pregnant wife, Semra Aysal, 32, off a cliff after taking out a life insurance policy.
In the latest case, the victim, Semiha Sozer, 37, from Karamursel in Turkey, died 15 months ago when she fell more than 60 feet to her death from a coastal cliff face during a trip with her husband, Erdal Necip Sozer.
The couple had been married just 18 months.
The police reportedly never believed his claim that Semiha had simply fallen in a tragic accident.
And now Sozer has been arrested after it emerged that before her death he used search engines to look up ‘how do you push a person’ and ‘how to throw a person’.
Sozer is being held in custody after he was seized by police on 15th May following months of surveillance and checks on his phone and computer records following a complaint by the victim’s family.
He has not yet been formally charged with his wife’s murder and is being held in preventative custody.
The police investigation is ongoing.
