Nurten Taycur
Nurten Taycur, the 28 year old woman hired a hitman to kill her husband and make it look like a terrorist attack.
She has however been jailed for soliciting to commit murder.
According to the Metropolitan Police, Nurten Taycur of Hackney was
sentenced at the Old Bailey on Friday May 13, to six year's imprisonment
for hiring a person she believed to be a contract killer to murder her
husband.
Acting on intelligence received concerning Taycur, officers from
the Met's Special Projects Team launched an operation to foil her
murderous plans.
Taycur met what she believed was a hitman six times between Friday,
13 November 2015 and Friday, 11 December 2015. The man was actually a
undercover Metropolitan Police officer.
During her contact with the 'hitman', Taycur initially asked for
her husband to be murdered, agreed a price and began planning her
husband's death.
She also admitted to the undercover officer that she had been
having an affair and wanted her husband dead so that she could be free
of the marriage.
Taycur agreed to pay a sum of £5000 for the killing and supplied a
down payment of £1000. She provided a photograph of the intended victim
and details of his vehicle and registration number.
During her negotiations with the undercover officer, Taycur offered
to be present when the murder took place and to track the victim using a
mobile phone tracking app. She was very clear to request that he was
not to be shot as she wanted the killing to look like a robbery or
politically motivated attack related to her husband's Kurdish heritage.
Taycur asked that her husband's throat be cut and the word 'ISIS'
be daubed on the outside of his car as she believed this would disguise
the motivation for the killing.
Officers arrested mother-of-two, Nurten Taycur on Friday, 11
December 2015 on suspicion of conspiracy to murder. A search was made of
her home and police seized £4000 found concealed in the bedroom, this
being the amount of the balance owed for payment on completion of the
killing.
The intended victim, Taycur's husband, was completely unaware of the plans being made to end his life.
Nurten Taycur , 28, pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey on Friday, 11 March and was remanded in custody to await sentencing.
Detective Inspector Paul Foreman of the Met's Special Projects Team said: "Nurten
Taycur planned this murder with enthusiasm. She asked that the victim's
body not be disposed of so that she could have 'a body to grieve over',
this while insisting that her intended victim died a painful and
terrifying death.
"Today's sentence reflects the callous and calculated nature of
her actions and I hope the length of incarceration brings a measure of
comfort to her intended victim who was totally unaware of her plot."
