A footballer’s wife has been accused of paying an assassin to kill her spouse after he asked for divorce because she had cheated on him.
27-year-old Yagmur Asik is believed to have hired a £1M hitman to kill former Turkish international Emre Asik, 46 after her lover Erdi Sungur refused to carry out the evil act.
Sungur told prosecutors that the assassin revealed all to him and that Asik provided a murder weapon for the contract killing, Star Online reports.
Yagmur married Emre in 2012 and has three children with him.
Turkish paper Hurriyet reports Sungur is alleged to have contacted the contract killer himself after being confronted over not being able to carry out the crime himself.
In court documents filed from the public prosecutor’s office, Sungur reportedly said: “I had an affair with Yagmur.
“She was only thinking of inheriting the fortune after Emre Asık’s death. She asked me to kill him, but I refused.
“Once she brought me a piece of meat. She wanted me to shoot the meat. I did attempt to shoot, but I squinted. ‘You can’t do it,’ she yelled angrily.”
