A Turkish man in Germany has been arrested after he butchered his wife in front of their six children and then threw her severed head from the rooftop

Orhan Sircasi, 32, made his children, aged between 9 months and 10 years, watch as he killed their mother in the family’s Berlin apartment. Sircasi, of Turkish origin, then ran to the roof of the five-story building with his wife’s head and a knife. He tried to attack police officers, but was eventually overpowered. Police then entered the man’s apartment, where they found his wife’s dismembered body and his children, who have since been placed under psychiatric observation. The Turk often beat his wife, especially when he was drinking.
