Violence-proofed Turkish women

"We already knew how to get beaten by him. Probably Özgecan didn't. She must have resisted or tried to fight back, which would have made my brother go completely nuts and made him hit harder." These are the words of the sister of Özgecan Arslan's murderer, speaking to daily Habertürk reporter Kübra Par. 

Par asked her what she thought when she heard of Özgecan's killing. 

"I knew my brother's rage very well," she replied. "I thought 'He must have beaten her to death.' I didn't die because I developed a resistance to his beatings. It is a disgusting thing to get used to being beaten up ? Probably Özgecan was never once beaten by her father. But my brother beat us up so much ... We never hit him to defend ourselves, not even once. We knew what would have happened if we did. Maybe Özgecan resisted, which would have made my brother lose it and hit her more and more. "

Let me recap. Özgecan Aslan was a 19-year-old university student who took a public minibus from school to her home on Feb. 11, 2015. She was attacked and brutally killed by minibus driver Suphi Alt?ndöken. The murderer, who was sentenced to life in jail, was himself killed in prison on April 11, 2016, shot dead by another inmate.

I am looking into the details of incidents and related statements to understand better...
