20 year old model jumps naked to her death rather than be raped by two men
Gulay Bursali and her boyfriend had asked a property agent if there was an empty apartment they could rent for the weekend, and were given the keys to a property in Basaksehir, a district located on the European side of Istanbul. But after partying with friends in a local bar, they had gone back to the flat where they ended up being attacked by the estate agent.
According to the boyfriend’s statement to police, the estate agent had tricked his way inside by claiming he wanted to get some things from the apartment.
Once inside, the estate agent and a friend beat him up, took his phone and locked him inside one of the rooms. They then locked the young woman in another room, and stripped her naked before she managed to open the window and climbed outside, threatening to jump unless they let her go.
Eyewitnesses said they had seen the naked young woman hanging out of the window.
One man told local TV:
"I heard somebody screaming help, and I thought maybe it was just someone messing around. Then I saw a naked girl hanging out of the window.
"She was yelling don't pull me inside, if you try to pull me inside I will jump. Those inside were shouting at her to come inside, saying they were going to call the police.
"But she wasn't interested, I heard her threaten them two more times to say that she would jump, and was calling for somebody to help.
"I didn't say anything, I felt if she moved even a bit she was going to fall and that was why I didn't say anything. I just called the police. While I was doing that, she jumped."The boyfriend who was freed from the flat and quizzed has now been released and police are looking for the estate agent and his friend.
Below is a photo of the building she jumped from

Lady testifies how God healed her baby of heart disease, shares adorable photos of him
"Oh our son Chibuikem Joshua Eze is 6months today! Words fail me but I'll say a few things. He was conceived supernaturally, and apart from one or two attacks from the enemy which God gave us victory in, there were no hassles throughout the pregnancy. He was also delivered supernaturally to the glory of God.
On the 14th day of his life, he was diagonised of a heart condition. He had 2 large holes in the heart. Oh my God, it was a scary experience. I couldn't feel my legs when I heard the doctor' s report, but as I left the room, I looked into our son's eyes and said, 'This sickness is not unto death but to showcase the Glory of God on your life son'. Immediately, scriptures started flooding my heart and I was strengthened. On our way home we laughed very well. I and my husband started building our faith in God. The paediatric cardiologist said it was impossible for the holes to close back. That we should start preparing for surgery in India. Hmmm. Hubby told her we'll make our decision after the second echo scan. My son was loosing weight due to the condition.
We were asked not to allow him suck so that he doesn't go into heart failure. So many procedures(phew). They gave him some medicines he'll take pending the surgery. I discarded the drugs after giving our son the first dose and told hubby that the Word of God is Josh's MEDICINE. I allowed him to suckle because babies are designed to suck from their mothers' breasts. We got scriptures on healing and the one that talks specifically about the heart Ezekiel 36:26. And started applying it on him by confessing it daily. I had to build my faith by reading a Kenneth E. Hagin's study book on Prayer. We just kept confessing God's word and refused to believe that anything was wrong with Josh. In January, during our church programme, (WAFBEC), Pst Matthew Ashimolowo mentioned our case and we claimed it by faith. We danced, laughed, praised and blessed the name of God for his healing. Exactly 3weeks ago, we went for the second echo scan. To God be the Glory, the scan read that Chibuikem Joshua Eze's heart has been COMPLETELY CLOSED. I wanted to hold my husband tight and scream out my lungs in excitement but the tears started rolling! The God that perfectly knitted my baby in my womb has given my son a NEW HEART! The God that makes impossible situations possible HEALED our son COMPLETELY! Oh Praise God with me! Onye n'agwo oria! Oloro ihe loro ehi! Ogbajiri igwe kpo ya nku!
Thelma West, a 32-year-old Nigerian is the only woman in the male-dominated world of diamond business
Nigerian Thelma West is a rare gem in the diamond world as a woman in
a male-dominated sector with few Africans, despite the continent being
the main source of the precious rocks.
The first in her family to
work in diamonds, West is used to being an outsider, having been raised
in a Jewish family in a country where Jews number fewer than 50,000 out
of a population of around 180 million.
"I’m the only Nigerian
Jewish woman in the trade, and I don’t know of other African women in
the business," the 32-year-old told AFP at her London-based business as
she greeted customers with a broad smile and sparkling diamonds on her
hands and wrists.
Discretion and security are essential, with the
anonymous-looking building guarded by an encrypted intercom system and a
reinforced door, all under the gaze of a bank of security cameras.
"I wanted to become an engineer because at that time in Nigeria, you
had to choose a solid career, such as doctor, lawyer, engineer," she
told AFP.
But, as the saying goes, “Diamonds Are Forever” and the
sparkle of the stones, which had captivated West since childhood, was an
irresistible allure.
"My mum had loads of
jewellery," said the
daughter of a Guinness drinks company employee mother and a property
developer and industrialist father. "We were always playing with her
jewellery box and she would always clean her jewels, and I would help."
West
headed for Antwerp, the world’s diamond capital, aged 17 despite "not
knowing anybody" in the Belgian city. There, she enrolled at the
internationally renowned Hoge Raad Voor Diamant school to hone her
skills.
"Even though you go to school, most of your knowledge comes from working with diamonds day-to-day," she said.
After
trying for six months in vain to secure an internship, she was
eventually taken under the wing of an Orthodox Jew diamond dealer, who
worked with her every evening after school for a year. She was then
recruited by one of the biggest diamond suppliers in Europe based in
Spain.
"It was being sent in at the deep end," she recalled. "I was 19 and I was responsible for every single diamond the company had."
Teaming
up with school friends from Lagos who had moved into investment
banking, West set up her own business in London to trade the precious
stone.
Metal tongs in hand, West explained the secrets of some of her stock.
"Diamonds
have fire," said West. "That stone is too flat but it’s got a lot of
life in it, it was cut about 100 years ago,” she said, pointing to one
tiny rock. "This
one cost just over £100,000 ($141,000, 126,000 euros), it’s got a low
colour but it has been cut perfectly so it reflects light in such an
amazing way."
Fewer than 50 clients, 12 of whom are investors, have access to West’s knowledge.
"I can find a diamond and call them and say ‘we have to buy this diamond, trust me’ and they follow me," she said.
Her
multinational client base — introduced by word of mouth — includes
Swiss, Russians, Ghanaians, Nigerians and "a handful of French". Helped
by a 10-woman team, West creates all of her company’s products, which
come with a lifetime guarantee. Her most ambitious creation was a
custom-made necklace worth around #2 million.
She
plans to open a workshop in Nigeria, "where I’ll train girls in the art
of making jewellery". West gives little away but also said she is
creating "a revolutionary tool" that will help people in her business.
"That tool should be part of every diamond dealer and every shop".
