A 37-year-old Uzbek woman's decapitated and dismembered body was discovered in a rubbish bin in Istanbul's Sisli district on Saturday evening. The victim's body was wrapped in a sheet, and her head and legs were missing. Police identified the victim and reviewed security footage, which led them to two men dumping a suitcase in another bin. Authorities detained two Uzbek nationals at Istanbul Airport attempting to leave the country and later arrested a third suspect. The discovery has sparked outrage from women's rights groups, who organized protest marches in Istanbul and Ankara demanding justice and an end to violence against women.
