Yesterday, grease wrestling champion Hakkı Aygün (25) was shot and 

killed by Umut Can Ferah (20), in Muratpaşa district of Antalya.  A 

few hours later, Ferah turned himself in to police and surrendered his 

revolver, as well.  

Ferah explained in his statement that Aygün had beat him up so

this was his revenge, adding that "two years ago, I was with Yavuz

Tayfur, who fought with Aygün.  After the fight, I switched to 

Aygün's side but he beat me up and I couldn't stomach it.  So I

shot him."

On 24 March 2018, Aygün was the target of an armed attack in

Muratpaşa and police are trying to determine whether the two

attacks are connected.  Aygün's relative Bayram Tıraş, who claimed

the body, asserted that Ferah was put up to the murder by the 

attacker (Tayfur) of two years ago.  Continuing, Tıraş noted that 

"Umut Can Ferah called my nephew (Aygün) and said 'the person 

that shot you (in 2018) also beat me up.  I'm going to the police 

station to file a complaint.'  So the two of them went to the police 

station and complained."

                            Sadly, it's here too.

"Afterwards, as Ferah was getting out of the car my nephew gave

him 100 TL to get himself something to eat.  But then Ferah fired

three shots at him (Aygün).  What a shame for young people to 

die at this age."

In the 2018 incident, Yavuz Tayfur went to a café to talk with

Aygün and Mehmet Ali Avcı.  An argument erupted and Tayfur

fired his gun at Aygün and Avcı.  Tayfur was arrested but released

under judicial control a month later.
