ISTANBUL // Ever since a young woman in one of Istanbul's wealthiest neighbourhoods became a murder victim, eyes have been on the inability of Turkey's police to find the killer, despite many clues. But now, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the religiously conservative prime minister, has enraged critics by suggesting that part of the responsibility lies with the girl's parents, who let her go out that day, failing to prevent a "moral erosion".
The decapitated body of Munevver Karabulut, a student, was found in early March, shortly before her 18th birthday, by a man going through a rubbish container in Etiler, a wealthy district on the European side of the Turkish metropolis. The head of the young woman was in a guitar case placed on top of the body.
Police say the main suspect is Cem Garipoglu, Munevver's boyfriend and the son of a rich family, who disappeared the day of the murder. Munevver went to Mr Garipoglu's house that day.
Mr Garipoglu, also 17, is probably abroad, said Istanbul's recently appointed new police chief, Huseyin Capkin, according to yesterday's Sabah newspaper. "If he was in the country, police would certainly have found him one way or another." He said police would "catch the killer soon".
The case has attracted national attention because of the brutality of the crime, the involvement of people that belong to Turkey's elite and because of the failure of the police to catch the murder suspect. Some reports suggested that the Garipoglu family pulled strings to make it possible for their son to flee. There is even talk about the Karabulut case being made into a film.
Mr Erdogan's comments have added a new dimension to the affair and sharpened the controversy. Without referring to the case by name but speaking of "unwanted murders in recent times", Mr Erdogan last week slammed a general trend of "moral erosion" that threatens families. "As parents, we cannot say our children can go wherever they want. Those left to their own devices go over the top. You know what I am trying to say."
Mr Erdogan's comments raised much criticism because they were seen as the prime minister's way of saying that Munevver's parents were partly to blame for her death because they let her go to Mr Garipoglu's house by herself.
Critics of Mr Erdogan's religiously conservative government say a rejection of a modern lifestyle that districts such as Etiler stand for and ideas about women having to stay at home are behind the prime minister's comments.
"According to this mentality, Munevver would not have been killed if she put on an [Islamic] headscarf and stayed home," Canan Arin of Mor Cati, or Purple Roof, a women's rights group, told the Birgun newspaper. She said that according to Mr Erdogan, "it is wrong for girls to be out and about anyway".
"I stand by my child," Munevver's father, Sureyya, told Turkish media in response to Mr Erdogan's statement. "It is your duty to find the killer. Why don't you find him?" Mr Karabulut said, addressing the prime minister.
Celalettin Cerrah, Mr Capkin's predecessor as Istanbul's police chief, caused a public outcry in April when he suggested, much like Mr Erdogan, that the parents bore part of the responsibility for her death. "If you had a daughter, at what time would you want her to come home? Do you allow her to stay at her boyfriend's house until late at night?"
With their statements, Mr Erdogan and Mr Cerrah were trying to distract attention from the fact that the suspected killer has not been caught yet, critics say. "Munevver Karabulut stayed a year in Canada for language studies, and nothing happened to her," columnist Ruhat Mengi wrote in the Vatan newspaper.
Media reports have said Mr Garipoglu was filmed by a security camera of a hardware store where he bought a saw on the day of the crime. According to unconfirmed reports, Mr Garipoglu may have fled to Russia after the murder. Yesterday, several newspapers reported that police had found a forged identity card for Mr Garipoglu. The existence of the forgery suggested the murder had been planned, the reports said.
Blood of the victim and a bloody saw were found in Mr Garipoglu's home, and the father of Mr Garipoglu has been arrested. A lawyer for the victim's family said Munevver's blood was found on the clothes of Mehmet Garipoglu, the suspect's father.
Media criticised police for what many observers say is a botched investigation. Apart from being unable to locate the main suspect for almost five months, authorities are also under fire for mistakes made during the investigations. Munevver Karabulut's body was contaminated with evidence from another case during autopsy procedures by forensic experts.
President Abdullah Gul has ordered a general review of the state institute for forensic medicine.

Difference between fractional ownership and timeshare
Although similar in its appearance, the concept of a fractional title deed is unlike that of a timeshare, which usually involves multiple investors buying “time” in a property whereby the owner has the right to occupation for a specified period of time in any year, as opposed to the actual real estate, said John Peacock, Head of Indirect Tax and Conveyancing, BSA Ahmad Bin Hezeem & Associates, a law firm.

Sugary teas and iced coffees
The tax authority is yet to release a list of the taxed products, but it appears likely that sugary iced teas and cold coffees will be hit.
For instance, the non-fizzy drink AriZona Iced Tea contains 65 grams of sugar – about 16 teaspoons – per 680ml can. The average can costs about Dh6, which would rise to Dh9.
Cold coffee brands are likely to be hit too. Drinks such as Starbucks Bottled Mocha Frappuccino contain 31g of sugar in 270ml, while Nescafe Mocha in a can contains 15.6g of sugar in a 240ml can.

Get inspired
Here are a couple of Valentine’s Day food products that may or may not go the distance (but have got the internet talking anyway).
Sourdough sentiments: Marks & Spencer in the United Kingdom has introduced a slow-baked sourdough loaf dusted with flour to spell out I (heart) you, at £2 (Dh9.5). While it’s not available in the UAE, there’s nothing to stop you taking the idea and creating your own message of love, stencilled on breakfast-inbed toast.
Crisps playing cupid: Crisp company Tyrells has added a spicy addition to its range for Valentine’s Day. The brand describes the new honey and chilli flavour on Twitter as: “A tenderly bracing duo of the tantalising tingle of chilli with sweet and sticky honey. A helping hand to get your heart racing.” Again, not on sale here, but if you’re tempted you could certainly fashion your own flavour mix (spicy Cheetos and caramel popcorn, anyone?).
One in four Americans don't plan to retire
Nearly a quarter of Americans say they never plan to retire, according to a poll that suggests a disconnection between individuals' retirement plans and the realities of ageing in the workforce.
Experts say illness, injury, layoffs and caregiving responsibilities often force older workers to leave their jobs sooner than they'd like.
According to the poll from The Associated Press-NORC Centre for Public Affairs Research, 23 per cent of workers, including nearly two in 10 of those over 50, don't expect to stop working. Roughly another quarter of Americans say they will continue working beyond their 65th birthday.
According to government data, about one in five people 65 and older was working or actively looking for a job in June. The study surveyed 1,423 adults in February this year.
For many, money has a lot to do with the decision to keep working.
"The average retirement age that we see in the data has gone up a little bit, but it hasn't gone up that much," says Anqi Chen, assistant director of savings research at the Centre for Retirement Research at Boston College. "So people have to live in retirement much longer, and they may not have enough assets to support themselves in retirement."
When asked how financially comfortable they feel about retirement, 14 per cent of Americans under the age of 50 and 29 per cent over 50 say they feel extremely or very prepared, according to the poll. About another four in 10 older adults say they do feel somewhat prepared, while just about one-third feel unprepared.
"One of the things about thinking about never retiring is that you didn't save a whole lot of money," says Ronni Bennett, 78, who was pushed out of her job as a New York City-based website editor at 63.
She searched for work in the immediate aftermath of her layoff, a process she describes as akin to "banging my head against a wall." Finding Manhattan too expensive without a steady stream of income, she eventually moved to Portland, Maine. A few years later, she moved again, to Lake Oswego, Oregon. "Sometimes I fantasise that if I win the lottery, I'd go back to New York," says Ms Bennett.

Mercer, the investment consulting arm of US services company Marsh & McLennan, expects its wealth division to at least double its assets under management (AUM) in the Middle East as wealth in the region continues to grow despite economic headwinds, a company official said.
Mercer Wealth, which globally has $160 billion in AUM, plans to boost its AUM in the region to $2-$3bn in the next 2-3 years from the present $1bn, said Yasir AbuShaban, a Dubai-based principal with Mercer Wealth.
“Within the next two to three years, we are looking at reaching $2 to $3 billion as a conservative estimate and we do see an opportunity to do so,” said Mr AbuShaban.
Mercer does not directly make investments, but allocates clients’ money they have discretion to, to professional asset managers. They also provide advice to clients.
“We have buying power. We can negotiate on their (client’s) behalf with asset managers to provide them lower fees than they otherwise would have to get on their own,” he added.
Mercer Wealth’s clients include sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and insurance companies among others.
From its office in Dubai, Mercer also looks after Africa, India and Turkey, where they also see opportunity for growth.
Wealth creation in Middle East and Africa (MEA) grew 8.5 per cent to $8.1 trillion last year from $7.5tn in 2015, higher than last year’s global average of 6 per cent and the second-highest growth in a region after Asia-Pacific which grew 9.9 per cent, according to consultancy Boston Consulting Group (BCG). In the region, where wealth grew just 1.9 per cent in 2015 compared with 2014, a pickup in oil prices has helped in wealth generation.
BCG is forecasting MEA wealth will rise to $12tn by 2021, growing at an annual average of 8 per cent.
Drivers of wealth generation in the region will be split evenly between new wealth creation and growth of performance of existing assets, according to BCG.
Another general trend in the region is clients’ looking for a comprehensive approach to investing, according to Mr AbuShaban.
“Institutional investors or some of the families are seeing a slowdown in the available capital they have to invest and in that sense they are looking at optimizing the way they manage their portfolios and making sure they are not investing haphazardly and different parts of their investment are working together,” said Mr AbuShaban.
Some clients also have a higher appetite for risk, given the low interest-rate environment that does not provide enough yield for some institutional investors. These clients are keen to invest in illiquid assets, such as private equity and infrastructure.
“What we have seen is a desire for higher returns in what has been a low-return environment specifically in various fixed income or bonds,” he said.
“In this environment, we have seen a de facto increase in the risk that clients are taking in things like illiquid investments, private equity investments, infrastructure and private debt, those kind of investments were higher illiquidity results in incrementally higher returns.”
The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the largest sovereign wealth funds, said in its 2016 report that has gradually increased its exposure in direct private equity and private credit transactions, mainly in Asian markets and especially in China and India. The authority’s private equity department focused on structured equities owing to “their defensive characteristics.”
