In 2021, Lebanese Nurhan B., mother of four minor children, moved into a house on Hampstead Street in Berlin-Zehlendorf. She sought protection from her violent ex-husband. A temporary restraining order had been issued against him for domestic violence, and he should not have known where his ex-wife lived.
On Wednesday, August 28, 2024, the ex-husband waited for 36-year-old Nurhan at her Hampstead Street home and stabbed her on the sidewalk with a knife at around 8:30 p.m. Emergency workers managed to resuscitate Nurhan, and she was rushed to hospital for surgery. Nevertheless, she died from her injuries.
The 50-year-old ex-husband was arrested by police at the scene. “He wanted to restore his honor,” explains a spokesman for the prosecutor's office. Eyewitnesses say that during the attack the man repeatedly shouted, “It's my right.”
All of the children are being cared for by family members.
