Eight bodies found in flat

EIGHT bodies have been discovered in an apartment in southern Turkey, officials said yesterday.

Aytac Durak, the mayor of the city of Adana, said the victims – including three children – had been shot in the head and other parts of their bodies.

He said a divorced nurse, her children and some of her siblings lived there.

Police are investigating the murders, including the possibility of a so-called “honour killing” when women accused of immoral behaviour are murdered by a relative to protect the family’s honour.
