Kurdish Community Centre translator killed wife for
insurance, court hears
March
11, 2010
LONDON, — A school dinner lady was murdered
by her cheating husband for £375,000 of life
insurance money, a court heard.
Elif Oruc, a Kurd from Turkey, 42, was stabbed in
the heart and left to bleed to death on her kitchen
floor in a “sickening” planned attack by Mikdat
Sahpaz, a translator at Haringey's Kurdish Community
Centre, prosecutors claim.
The 46-year-old defendant, known to friends as
Seyhan, allegedly used money taken from a bank
account set up for his daughter to fund his
lifestyle and even went on holiday to Germany with
his mistress and her children.
But when faced with the prospect of a messy divorce
from his loveless marriage he killed his wife and
ransacked their Wembley home in an effort to make
the murder look like a botched burglary, the Old
Bailey heard.
Duncan Penny, prosecuting, told jurors how Mr Sahpaz
later collected their two children, 13 and nine,www.ekurd.netand
brought them back to the house where their mother,
who worked at Barham Primary School, lay dead.
Referring to the defendant, Mr Penny said: “When the
man entered the kitchen he confronted a truly
terrible sight.
"There lying in front of him on the kitchen floor
was the lifeless body of his wife, stabbed in the
heart.
"She had been left to bleed to death in the last
three hours. To most men, you might think, this
sickening sight would be something of a shock. |

"To this man it was not
and the reason was because this man was both her
husband and her murderer."
Mr Sahpaz was well known at the community centre, in
Portland Gardens, just off Green Lanes, and was on
their payroll until 2006.
He was allegedly driven to the scene from Green
Lanes by Huseyin Erhalac, who prosecutors say had no
idea what his passenger's intention was.
The defendant stood to gain from his wife's death
through a £375,000 life insurance pay out and by
taking control of two properties they had owned
together.
Mr Sahpaz denies murder.
The trial continues.
