2 Bulgarians Shot Dead in Berlin by Turkish Lover

Two Bulgarian women have been killed in Berlin after a Turkish man, who had a relationship with one of them, shot them dead, local media reported.

The murder occurred at a banitza shop, which the Bulgarians had recently opened in the German capital.

The murderer, 33-year-old Mehmed Y, is of Turkish origin and had an intimate relationship with one of the victims, police said.

He pulled a pistol out of his jacket pocket and fired eight bullets following a dispute with his former girlfriend, also aged 33. The lethal shots were in the victims' head.

Mehmed was arrested on the scene of the crime after a shocked visitor at the shop called the police.
