A woman accused of murdering her husband on a camping trip “remembers nothing” about the alleged incident, it has been claimed.
Ilknur Caliskan is accused of murdering Serdar, her husband of 25 years, while the couple were enjoying a break with friends at Mount Disappointment in Australia on Saturday night.
A lawyer acting on behalf of the family said the alleged incident took place in front of three couples as the group sat around a bonfire.
The couple’s grown children said their parents were “very happy” and had just returned from an overseas trip to Turkey two weeks ago, the Herald Sun reported.
Ilknur’s lawyer Marcus Denning said he was “not in a position where he understands anything about that night.”

“He doesn’t remember anything to do with any kind of violence,” Denning said.
“What has happened has happened in the context of people sitting around a campfire.”
Serdar and Ilknur Caliskan live with their grown son and daughter in Craigieburn, Melbourne.
“It was an unusual case with no evidence of intent to kill, no motive, and no evidence of prior violence,” Denning said.
“It was just a horrible event.

“Her immediate family said they love their mother, they will support her and they will do everything they can to get her the treatment she needs.”
Ilknur, 46, sobbed as she stood in the dock at Shepparton Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
He has been remanded in custody and has been booked for a forensic psychiatric assessment later this month.

“We hope it will shed light on the public, the family and the court about his mental health status,” Denning said.
Emergency services were called to remote bushland near Clonbinane, north of Melbourne, at 11:30pm on Saturday where they found Serdar, 50, suffering from stab wounds.
He died at the scene.
Ilknur was arrested at the scene and charged with murder on Sunday evening.
He will return to court for a committal citation on December 19.
