A brute who Googled ‘Punishment for adultery in Sharia’ before shooting his sister dead has had his appeal against his life sentence rejected.

Mustafa Aslan plotted to kill victim Melek Aslan, 24, after he was told she was promiscuous with men by jealous former fiance Orhan Vatansever.

When the couple broke up, Vatansever wrote to Melek’s relatives claiming she owed him money and that she was sleeping with men for cash.

Vatansever sent a message to her brother Mustafa, 21, saying: “Your sister knows half of Diyarbakir, she sleeps with other men in Antalya.”

Enraged by his sister’s alleged behaviour, Aslan travelled to Diyarbakir on 21st October 2020 and shot her dead.

A gruesome snap shows Melek slumped over a stone seating area in a pool of her own blood.

Aslan and Vatansever were later arrested and charged with her murder.

During the men’s original trial, the court heard how Aslan had made numerous disturbing searches on Google ahead of the crime.

Questions he had typed into the search bar included ‘According to Sharia, is it permissible to kill an adulteress sister?’ and ‘Punishment for adultery in Sharia’.

A court in Diyarbakir originally sentenced the pair to life imprisonment for Melek’s brutal murder on 13th December.

The sentence means that under local law, they will both serve a minimum of 24 years behind bars.

But the Court of Appeal has now rejected the men’s appeals and confirmed their sentences.
