Hotel staff heard disturbing sounds from the room, found her in a pool of blood, and alerted medical teams who pronounced her dead.
Turkish police launched an investigation, apprehended the husband attempting to flee in a bloodied T-shirt, and he confessed to the murder, claiming a drug-induced argument led to the fatal attack.
The suspect admitted to hiding the evidence and fleeing the scene. The ongoing investigation reveals the couple arrived in Turkey on November 11, settling into their hotel on November 14.
