Shocked Istanbul junkmen discover decapitated female body in suitcase

Two junkmen collecting the scrap and waste thrown by passers-by got the shock of their life when they found a suitcase on the edge of the road in northern Turkey.

Upon opening the suitcase, they discovered a decapitated and decomposing body and immediately notified the police.

Preliminary reports indicated that the body belonged to a female whose head was cut off with a sharp object and was killed three months prior to the discovery in Düzce province.

Police have launched a full investigation into the gruesome event and have sent the body to Istanbul’s Forensic Medicine Institute for an autopsy.
