A cheating wife who hired a "hitman" to kill her husband in a fake Isis execution has been jailed for soliciting to commit murder.
Nurten Taycur, 28, of Hackney, was sentenced at the Old Bailey on Friday to six year's imprisonment for hiring a person she believed to be a contract killer to murder her husband.
Taycur was caught after police officers from the Met's Special Projects Team, acting on a tip off, launched an operation to foil her murderous plans.
Taycur met a man who she believed to be a contract killer six times between Friday, November 13 2015 and Friday, December 11 2015, and initially asked for her husband to be murdered.
She agreed a price with the hitman and began planning her husband's death, telling him she had been having an affair and wanted her husband dead so that she could be free of the marriage.
Taycur agreed to pay a sum of £5000 for the killing and supplied a down payment of £1000, and also provided the man with a photograph of the intended victim as well as details of his vehicle and registration number.
She also offered to be present when the murder took place, and said she would track the victim using a mobile phone tracking app.
Taycur told the hitman that she did not want her husband to be shot, as she wanted the killing to look like a robbery or politically motivated attack related to her husband's Kurdish heritage.
The mother-of-two instead asked the hitman to cut her husband's throat and daub the word 'ISIS' on the outside of his car to disguise the motivation for the killing.
However, Taycur's plans came unstuck when the "hitman" turned out to be an undercover Metropolitan Police officer.
Officers arrested scheming Taycur on Friday, December 11 2015 on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.
Her home was searched and police seized £4000, which was found hidden in the bedroom - which matched the amount of the balance owed to the killer for the hit on her husband's life.
The intended victim, Taycur's husband, was completely unaware of the plans being made to end his life.
Taycur pleaded guilty to the offence at the Old Bailey on Friday, March 11.
Detective Inspector Paul Foreman of the Met's Special Projects Team said: "Nurten Taycur planned this murder with enthusiasm.
"She asked that the victim's body not be disposed of so that she could have 'a body to grieve over', this while insisting that her intended victim died a painful and terrifying death.
"Today's sentence reflects the callous and calculated nature of her actions and I hope the length of incarceration brings a measure of comfort to her intended victim who was totally unaware of her plot."
