A woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder following a fatal apartment fire in the Efeler district of Aydın, Turkey. The fire, which occurred on August 16, resulted in the death of 32-year-old Mazlum Çiçek.

Investigators raised suspicions after discovering that the kitchen door, where the victim's body was found, had been locked. Additionally, police found a bag and suitcase prepared with valuables and keys left outside the apartment, suggesting an attempt to flee. Witnesses also reported hearing a woman's scream shortly before the flames emerged.

Derya Çiçek, the victim's wife, was rescued from the fire with injuries and underwent medical treatment. Following her recovery, she was taken into custody. She has been charged with 'premeditated murder with monstrous feelings' and has been sent to prison, despite her claims of innocence.
