A cruel couple who killed a man by cutting off his penis during a threesome have been handed lengthy prison terms by a court in Turkey.

Elvan Kucukaltun was on trial at the Manavgat 2nd High Criminal Court accused of severing victim Kadir Demir's penis and stabbing him 54 times.

The events took place during an episode in Manavgat, Antalya Province, in January 2022 with co-defendant Nadja Angela Grosser.

Grosser, Kucukaltun's girlfriend, was sentenced to 15 years in prison after the court found her guilty of "complicity in intentional killing".

The court sentenced Kucukaltun to life imprisonment after convicting him of "intentional killing with monstrous emotion".

In Turkey, the minimum non-parole term for a life prisoner is 24 years.

The court heard how the frenzied attack took place after a dispute during the sex session.

A video of a previous threesome, dated to July 2021, was found on the victim's phone, and investigators determined that the other participants were the couple.

Prior to the verdict, prosecutor Oguz Dilek told the court: "According to the autopsy report, the number of blows and the locations of injuries on Kadir Demir's body, the presence of two knives in the house during the incident, and the fingerprints on both knives indicate that the act was committed together."

He argued: "The statements given by defendant Nadja Angela Grosser, such as 'I did not see, I did not hear', are contrary to the course of normal life. It is not possible not to hear the sounds.

"Kadir Demir's body was moved to the living room, a tarp was prepared, and a grave was dug.

"The limits of hate and animosity were exceeded, the victim's sexual organ was cut off, and a celebration was made by drinking wine.

"We demand that both defendants be punished for the crime of 'killing with monstrous emotion'."

During the trial, the court heard how Kucukaltun and his German girlfriend of three years invited their mutual friend to their home on 28th January last year.

They consumed alcohol and went on to have sex, during which Kucukaltun allegedly behaved aggressively towards Grosser, leading to an argument with Demir.

As the argument escalated, a knife fight broke out, during which Kucukaltun first stabbed Demir in the chest, then cut off his penis.

After sending Grosser away from the house, he attempted to bury Demir's body in a nearby park but was caught by the gendarmerie.

The couple were then arrested.

Kucukaltun was taken into custody while Grosser was released on bail.

She was later rearrested on suspicion 'destroying, hiding, or altering evidence' but was released on bail again in November last year.
