He explained that he killed his first wife because her behavior “irritated” him and that he murdered his former lover because he was convinced she was only after his money.

In the video, Calinak admits to the host that he had killed his wife and the host is simply appalled. She questions him as to why he did it, and seemingly emotionless, Calinak responds with justifications.

“Well, that’s my life. It is what it is,” he says, as the host tries to collect herself after hearing his shocking confession.

She scolds him while asking why he did it, telling him there is no excuse for what he did.

“It was all because of jealousy,” he says. “I did what I had to do.”

According to The Daily Mail, Calinak married his first wife Fadime at 17, when a short time later his nephew, who also wanted to marry Fadime began to come to their village. He said he was jealous so he killed her. Later, he entered into an affair with another woman who vowed to leave her husband for Calinak, but never did. According to Calinak, he said, “I killed her after she attempted to kill me. She was accidentally killed when I swung the axe.”
