Husband screams 'God is great, you Devil' before beheading his wife with six children all at home



A man has confessed to beheading his wife before throwing her severed head from the roof of their apartment with his six children all at home.



Orhan Sircasi, who was arrested for the killing of his wife, cut her into pieces with a butchers knife.

The 32-year-old killer attempted to fend off the police shortly before his arrest after lunging at officers with the knife.

He was eventually tackled on the balcony of his apartment complex and taken into custody but not before he threw his wife's head off the rooftop.

Officials were alerted shortly after 1am after witnesses reported the couple arguing from their balcony and watched in horror as Sircasi stabbed his wife in the chest and screaming 'Allahu Akbar Sheytan' (God is great, you Devil), before severing her head from her body.

Following his arrest, Sircasi is alleged to have told officials that he 'regretted nothing' as he awaits his initial court appearance tomorrow.

Police have confirmed that the couple's six children - four boys and two girls, aged between 1 and 13 years-old were all present but may not have witnessed the killing.

However one neighbour has insisted otherwise noting: 'They were in a terrible state. He made them watch as he butchered their mother then cut her up into little pieces.'

The youngsters are being administered psychological care and are expected to be given protective care.

Neighbours had alerted police in the early hours of the morning after they heard screaming coming from the flat. It is unclear what caused the fatal row.

Shocked onlookers told German newspaper BILD: I heard screaming from the neighbors upstairs, and my sister said something's happening, so we all went to the window.

'We heard how the man was yelling, and how he beat her. Finally I saw that he was holding her head in his hand, by the hair. And I heard how he threw her head on the ground.'

Another added: '"I saw the head and I thought, ‘Okay, maybe it's a dummy or something,’



'But then when the police held up a light I thought, ‘Oh God, that's our neighbor.’”

Media reported suggested that Sircasi was often violent towards his wife, beating and kicking her if she displeased him, especially after he had been drinking.



Blood spots were seen outside the flats near the Potsdamer Platz.

One neighbour was quoted by Tages Spiegel as saying: 'I can't get the sound out of my head.'
