A Moldovan woman, who has been found alive after going missing for more than two days in Istanbul, may have been raped multiple times, Turkish media has reported.
The 21-year-old woman disappeared in the central Taksim neighborhood at around noon on Dec. 7, while her mother, a Turkish citizen, was buying credit to use the metro. After the mother was unable to find her daughter in the streets, she notified the police.
The missing woman was picked up by police in nearby Beşiktaş late on Dec. 9, walking alone on the shoreline. She was reportedly unable to speak and was carrying no identification, so police took her to a homeless shelter in the Zeytinburnu district. She left the premises on Dec. 11 of her own accord, according to the shelter’s registration book.
Habertürk newspaper reported on Dec. 18 that the woman had been found 11 hours and 21 minutes after her reported exit from the shelter, unconscious in the garden of a mental institution in the Bakırköy district. Security guards at the institution said the woman’s lower body part was covered with blood, and she was immediately taken to hospital.
Her mother went to the hospital after medical personnel who recognized the woman’s photo in the newspaper got in contact.
According to the initial medical examination, the victim had been raped, possibly multiple times.
The mother said her daughter was able to tell her that she had been raped, and was uttering words such as “car” and “house” in her sleep.
A criminal investigation has been opened into the incident.

ISIS militants launched about 15 near-simultaneous attacks on Kurdish forces in northern Iraq on Monday in what Kurdish government officials and the news agency Rudaw said was a fierce and renewed push for territory, CNN reported.
ISIS also launched attacks against Mosul Dam, a strategic prize, and also renewed its offensive on the Sinjar mountain range in northern Iraq.
An ISIS-commandeered military truck loaded with explosives targeted a Peshmerga checkpoint along the security belt circling the dam, killing six security force members and injuring seven others critically, according to Peshmerga spokesman Said Mamazeen.
At almost the same time, ISIS militants launched an attack on the Nineveh Valley near the dam, which was repelled by Peshmerga forces using European and American weapons, the spokesman said.
Another Kurdish military official, who asked not to be named for protocol and security reasons, said that despite the attacks, it would be difficult for ISIS to gain control of the dam because of the large numbers of Peshmerga forces in the area.
