A 27-year-old woman was stabbed to death in a brutal attack during a break-up meeting with her boyfriend.
Victim Sinem Cesim had arranged the meeting in Istanbul, Turkey, on Wednesday afternoon, 9th April, to tell her lover their romance was over.
But her furious boyfriend, not named by police, pulled out a knife and fled after stabbing her repeatedly.

Paramedics rushed Sinem to hospital but she died of her extensive injuries.
Her father Hasan Cesim said that the person who killed his daughter made an anonymous call to local authorities informing them of a "dead woman".
He said: "How could this happen without the killer being caught? Are there no cameras? No images anywhere? Nothing at all?
"Why is the suspect still freely walking around? Has he fled abroad? Where has he gone?
"I'm also speaking directly to his parents — if they know where he is and aren't handing him in themselves, may God make them suffer 10 times the pain we're going through.

"I won't give up on this. I'll hire three lawyers if I have to. I want this person caught."
Sinem's grief-stricken mother Sultan Cesim said: "The day before, we sat in the kitchen and talked until 1:00 am.
"She said, 'I have dreams. I'm going to do this and that.'

"Then she went to bed — that was the last time I saw her. I never saw my daughter again."
Police are hunting for her boyfriend as a murder suspect.
