A man in Istanbul’s Pendik district allegedly shot and killed his wife of four year this morning over a dispute stemming from her Facebook account, according to daily Milliyet.

Sezer Yılmaz and his wife, Beyza Yılmaz began a violent argument because he found out about her recently activated Facebook account.

The 26-year-old allegedly shot his wife twice in the heart and once in the head, killing her in front of the couple’s 1- and 3-year-old children.

Neighbors called police during the incident, but Beyza Yılmaz was pronounced dead at the scene of the crime.

Sezer Yılmaz, who allegedly had a history of abusing his wife, who reportedly refused to get a divorce because of their two children, was detained by police.
