7-Month Pregnant Sudanese Woman Dies After Falling While Fleeing Husband's Abuse in Türkiye

A 7-month pregnant woman in Türkiye died after falling from a building while trying to escape her husband's abuse, NTV and other broadcasters reported on the 3rd (local time).

According to authorities, at around 12:30 a.m. that day, a 35-year-old Sudanese woman jumped from the 4th-floor bedroom window of an apartment in the Nilüfer district of the western Turkish city of Bursa toward a balcony of an adjacent building, but fell to the garden ground and died.

Investigations showed that the woman, who was 7 months pregnant, met her tragic end while trying to flee with her 3-year-old daughter after having a dispute with her 37-year-old husband and feeling threatened.

Some residents testified that they heard the sound of fighting and tried to intervene, but the building door was locked.

The husband was arrested by the police immediately after the incident.

A neighbor stated that the couple frequently quarreled and that the husband would often chase his wife while holding a knife.

In particular, the husband's habit of inhaling thinner was reported to be the cause of the marital conflict.

It was learned that two months ago, the victim reported being threatened to authorities and stayed in temporary housing before returning home a month ago.
