Explosive relationship.
Two years ago in Ürgüp, Cappadocia, Hacer Çelik met Bayram Çelik,
who said he worked in the rental car sector. The couple began living
together but Bayram (whose first name means 'holiday') bey soon
began to beat and abuse Hacer hanım so last June, when she learned
that Bayram bey did not work in the rental car sector, she went to live
with her family.
Enraged by Hacer hanım's rejections of his reconciliation proposals,
Bayram bey fired on her father's house and set fire to the house and
a car. Bayram bey was taken into custody on multiple occasions
but was always released. (!)
The day before yesterday, Bayram bey was loitering in front of
Hacer hanım's father's house so they called the police. By the time
police arrived Bayram bey was long gone but police noticed that
he had hung a bomb-trap (!) on the front door. The family was
then evacuated from the house via the balcony.
The bomb was defused and destroyed. Shortly afterwards, Bayram
bey was apprehended and jailed for attempted murder. Hacer
hanım explained that "we were married in a religious ceremony
(not recognized as 'official' by the state) in March 2018. When I
married Bayram I was already pregnant from my first husband."
"Bayram went to jail for 1.5 years for a previous conviction. I went
to the prison and told him I wanted to break up. But when he got
out he threatened me and shot up my father's house, setting fire to
both the house and a car, as well. He accused us of being drug
dealers but we were exonerated in court."
Hacer hanım's step-father Erdal Yarakkaya related that his wife had
noticed the bomb-trap on the door. "When I looked at it with a
flashlight I saw that one end of the string was tied to the doorknob
and the other to the iron railing. Something resembling a fist was
swaying and it turned out to be a hand grenade (!). The police
came, defused and destroyed the bomb and got us out via the
balcony."
