You forget to mention that one of these persons is not a Muslim using an additional Christian name, another one is living in USA and a third one is half German/Turkish, born in Germany.
I did not check out the private life of all the others in details and what they did in 2006, but it is a big difference if we talk about Islam somewhere in an ordinary city or rural area in the Asian part of Turkey or if we talk about the daily life of an actress of Turkish ethnicity living in the USA, California, Los Angeles and as a contract with L'Oreal Paris.
Maybe check out internet about honor killings related to Turkish people...

TURKEY: A drastic rise in reported “honor” killings and fatal domestic violence in Turkey has sparked a vigorous debate about the government’s recent attempts to address the problem. It also highlights the clash of conservative values with the country’s rapid modernization.
Government figures released in February suggest murders of women increased 14-fold in seven years, from 66 in 2002, to 953 in the first seven months of 2009. In the past seven months, one rights organization has compiled more than 264 cases – nearly one per day – reported in the press in which a woman was killed by a family member, husband, ex-husband, or partner.

Hatun Surucu, 23, was killed at a Berlin bus stop when her youngest brother fired three bullets into her head. The brothers said the family’s honor had been offended because she divorced the man her family had forced her to marry at age 16 and then began dating and refused to wear a head scarf.
.....
Though her family is ethnically Kurdish, and originally from Turkey, Ms. Surucu was born and raised in Germany. Her murder, after a series of similar so-called honor killings of Muslim women in Germany, sent shock waves through the country.
.....
Prosecutors said that her conservative and religious brothers felt dishonored after she began refusing to wear a head scarf and started dating a German man. A German judge described the attack by Ayhan Surucu as “an ice-cold, execution-style murder.”
.....
Ms. Surucu’s youngest brother, Ayhan, admitted that he had killed her, and he was jailed for nine years in a German prison.
In a German documentary released in 2011, Mutlu Surucu said his sister’s “lifestyle change” justified her murder. “Why does a woman need to dress up so prettily?” he reportedly asked. “Why does she need to go out on the town? To attract men.”
Sorry, but this is no valid argument to kill a 23 y/o woman in Germany waiting for a bus with a gun...
Daily life is rather restricted for ordinary people in Turkey, especially women. I am not a feminist, but too much is too much.

The article below reported the arrest of relatives on suspicion of killing a teenager for having friendships with boys. More than 200 such killings take place each year, said the piece, "accounting for around half of all murders in Turkey". According to Eurostat, Turkey's yearly murder rate averaged 6.1 per 100,000 population between 2005 and 2007 (the latest figures), meaning that the 200 are actually set against an annual total of about 4,400.
Turkish police have recovered the body of a 16-year-old girl they say was buried alive by relatives in an "honour" killing carried out as punishment for talking to boys.
The girl, who has been identified only by the initials MM, was found in a sitting position with her hands tied, in a two-metre hole dug under a chicken pen outside her home in Kahta, in the south-eastern province of Adiyaman.
.....
the father had told relatives he was unhappy that his daughter – one of nine children – had male friends. The grandfather is said to have beaten her for having relations with the opposite sex.
A postmortem examination revealed large amounts of soil in her lungs and stomach, indicating that she had been alive and conscious while being buried.Her body showed no signs of bruising.
I don't care if you keep your daughter at home and if she does not follow give her some slaps in her face or some smacks on her bottom, I am OK with that.
However I will never be supportive to such severe mistreatment and killings. People who are doing such things to their own relatives are religious bigots, totally crazy and dangerous.
You present some rich women of the high society of Turkish ethnicity, living abroad or in Istanbul and tell me their life-style is about the same as those of the ordinary people in small cities or rural areas in the large Asian part of Turkey. That's totally wrong, of course.
