A kebab shop owner was told by a judge that he 'cannot treat his wife as cattle' after slashing her face with a skewer and locking her in a cellar.
Huseyin Erdogan also made disturbing threats to arrange for a hitman to murder his partner after she accused him of having an affair, the Liverpool Echo reports. The judge told the 54-year-old that he held views which were 'unacceptable in a modern society'.
He added that he 'felt sorry for the female population of Turkey' if women were treated the same way that the restaurateur treated his wife. Erdogan left her feeling like a 'broken woman', the court was told.
