A twenty-year-old model leaped to her death from her holiday apartment to escape being raped by an estate agent and his friend.
University student Gulay Bursali died after jumping naked from the apartment she was sharing with her boyfriend in Istanbul.
According to The Mirror, the young couple had gotten the keys to the Basaksehir apartment after they asked a local property agent if there was an empty flat for the weekend.
After a night out with friends in the local bar, the pair returned to the flat where they were later attacked.
In Bursali’s boyfriend’s statement to police, he said the estate agent and his friend gained entrance to the apartment when they said they needed to collect some things.
However, the boyfriend, named only as Engin O, was then reportedly beaten and locked in a room while Gulay was stripped naked and threatened with attack.
An eyewitness told a local TV station:
“I heard somebody screaming help, and I thought maybe it was just someone messing around. Then I saw naked girl hanging out of the window.
“She was yelling don’t pull me inside, if you try to pull me inside I will jump. Those inside were shouting at her to come inside, saying they were going to call the police.
“But she wasn’t interested, I heard her threaten them two more times to say that she would jump, and was calling for somebody to help.
“I didn’t say anything, I felt if she moved even a bit she was going to fall and that was why didn’t say anything. I just called the police. While I was doing that, she jumped.”
Police are on the hunt for the two men involved.
