Cheating wife given classes after paying hitman £800

Thursday, February 12, 2009

A cheating wife who paid £800 to hire a hitman to murder her husband was yesterday spared jail and put on a life skills course instead.
Mother-of-two Zekiye Osmankan, arranged to have her husband, Cinsan, killed after a complaining about him during a chance meeting with a friend at her children's primary school.

But after handing over the cash, the 33-year-old had second thoughts – and then confessed all when she was tricked out of her money.

Yesterday, Osmankan was spared jail by Judge Jeremy Roberts QC, who handed her a suspended ten-month sentence and told her to attend a 20-hour 'skills for life' course.

He said it was an 'exceptional case', adding: 'You and your husband both now recognise that your marriage is at an end and you will go your sep­arate ways and the situation where you committed your offence will not be repeated.'

Osmankan, from Tottenham, north London, and her Turkish-Cypriot husband married in 1994 and had two children aged six and 12.

But the marriage was an unhappy one and she began an affair in 2008.

Events took a sinister turn when she told her friend, Stacey Jane Ali, that she was being abused.

Ali suggested that for £800 her boyfriend, William Holden could arrange to have her husband shot.

Osmankan withdrew the cash from his account and handed it over at the school gates last August, the Old Bailey was told.

However, a day after she had arranged the hit, Osmankan realised she had made a 'terrible mistake and done something stupid' and phoned to call it off – only to be told there would be a £50 cancellation fee.

She then confessed to her 39-year-old husband she was having an affair, had planned to have him killed and asked if she could borrow the money to cancel the contract on his head.

Osmankan then called police and handed herself in, spending 18 weeks on remand in prison. She admitted soliciting to murder.

Passing sentence, the judge said he had taken into account the fact that Osmankan had been abused, was suffering from depression at the time, confessed within 24 hours and showed remorse.

He added that Ali and Holden were probably con artists who were only interested in cheating her out of her £800. They were originally charged with conspiracy to murder but the case was dropped.

Just read it, got the Metro right in front of me. Life is cheap for a Turco, what made me laugh was the £50 cancellation fee and the bit about asking her husband to lend her the £50 to cancel the contract on his head.

Now let's see £50 multiplied by 60 million, I wonder if I can raise that sort of cash, anybody got the phone no. for the IMf?

Talk about gullible ...

I was talking to a Turkish Cypriot university student yesterday. He said that, in his opinion, reunification was impossible because "Greek Cypriots are brought up from an early age to hate us."

To read some of the threads that one sees on this forum, one cannot help but wonder if he is right.

Here is one good example. The event reported in this article could have involved any nationality under the sun. Instead some people chose to focus on the nationality of those involved and start spouting out the usual "Turks this, Turks that, Turks the other" nonsense. Get some therapy!

Tim, what is the therapy for "attention seeking"? What is the cause?

The story was e-mailed to me by an English friend (and not because I am GC as it went to a dozen other English mates) .... because it was a funny story ....

This story is quite funny :lol:

The fact it involved TCs is the reason why I posted it, since TCs are undeniably of topical interest here

So you do not think that I have a valid point?
