The main claimed he thought she was "playing a joke on him" before realizing she was dead; the following day, he shot himself in the head with a nail gun -- and still had the nail in his head a month later when he reported her death to police.
A Turkish national is behind bars in Milwaukee after he showed up to a police station last month and claimed his girlfriend was not only dead inside his apartment -- but she had been there, as he slept next to her stabbed body, for nearly a month.
Serkan Akcilad, 24, is being held on $1,000,000 bond after being charged with reckless homicide over the death of his girlfriend, 21-year-old Silan Tut. As for why he waited so long to report her death, he allegedly said -- according to his arrest affidavit -- that he was "unfamiliar with the laws of this country."
"unfamiliar with the laws of this country."

Per the affidavit, Akcilad reported the death on February 27 -- but told police he left his girlfriend in their apartment on January 24 to run some errands and came home to find Tut dead. Per police, Akcilad was seen that night buying a bottle of bleach -- but he claims he bought supplies to clean up after their hamsters before they took off for a trip to Chicago.
Hamsters. :lol
