The woman - who is five months pregnant, reportedly by her tormentor - is demanding authorities let her have an abortion even though she is far beyond the ten-week limit allowed for terminations in Turkey.
When police arrested her in the south-western village of Yalvac she told them: “That is the head of one who toyed with my honour.”
Womens’ groups in Turkey have praised the mum of two as a heroine after it emerged she was being blackmailed by her attacker.
The rapist had taken nude photos of her and threatened to send them to her parents unless she continued sleeping with him.
It also turned out that the woman - aged 26 - had been abused by her attacker for months before she took her revenge.
She took a gun and shot him ten times in the chest and the groin before cutting off his head and hurling it into the village square.
During her testimony she reportedly said: “He kept saying that he would tell everyone about the rape.
“My daughter will start school this year. Everyone would have insulted my children.
She added: "Now no one can. I saved my honour.”
“They will now call my children the kids of the women who saved her honour.”
In some rural areas of Turkey there have been reported cases of women being put to death after being raped for shaming their family honour.
