                                          Golden Girl.

In Trabzon, Dr. Burcu Bulut K. and Dr. Ümit K. married on 11 

September.  However, on 25 September their families argued about

sharing the gold the couple received at the wedding.  As a result, the

bride's father, retired soldier Basri B., shot the groom, the groom's father 

Hasan (53), mother Meryem (53) and sister Edanur K. (25). (!)

Basri B. explained that "when I heard that the groom's family wanted

the gold they got at the wedding I said 'the gold should stay with my 

daughter!'  When they came after me I shot them.  

As for bride Burcu Bulut hanım, she has started divorce proceedings,

saying "we started arguing because my husband's family was meddling

with us.  They wanted the gold from the wedding.  My husband said

'whatever my family wants is what will happen.' " 

"On the day of the incident, my father-in-law said during the argument 

'it's my house, get out!'  A fight broke out and my father tried to intervene 

by firing his gun at the floor 5-6 times, injuring my husband and his family.

My mother-in-law Meryem attacked me so I got in my car and left to get 

over the stress."

(BirGün website, 28 September 2021) 

                                       Happy ending.

In İnegöl district of Bursa, Beyhan Mutlu (50 and whose surname means 

"happy") got separated from his drinking buddies and got lost in the 

forest.  

However, when Mutlu encountered the searchers looking for him 

in the forest, he assumed the search was for someone else so he joined in

to help out.  But when one of the searchers yelled out his name, the

startled Mutlu responded "here I am!" and the search was happily

concluded. 

Mutlu had gone to drink with his pals in Çayyaka village during the 

night and then headed home.  But a little while later when his friends

returned to the village they encountered Mutlu's wife who said she

had not heard from him.  Thinking that Mutlu was lost in the forest, 

the Gendarmerie was alerted.  

In addition to the Gendarmerie, UMKE and İNDAK search teams

were brought in to look for Mutlu.  Eventually, Mutlu ran into the

searchers and one of them told him they were looking for a lost man.

So Mutlu decided to join the search and help out. (!)   

But when one of the searchers yelled out "Beyhan Mutlu", the

startled Mutlu cried out "Here I am!".  He then gave a statement

and was taken home.

Former football player Sezer Öztürk is being sought for murder.  Öztürk

at various times played for Manisaspor, Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş and 

Başakşehir.  

On 19 September, Öztürk got into an argument with Halil İbrahim

a warrant for Öztürk's arrest for "intentional murder" and stated in the

indictment that "the car with German-registered license plate BI OD 2828

is owned by O.D., who went to Germany at the end of August and turned

over the vehicle to Sezer Öztürk."

 Bulked up and planned on switching to American football.

According to the public prosecutor's announcement, A.M. surrendered to

police on 20 September and was jailed.  Öztürk and Ö.G. remain on the

lam and warrants have been issued for their arrest.

"Beat & Release": Abducted Child Bride & the Maniac Who Kidnapped Her, Again

türkçe links to original Turkish article

(Hürriyet Newspaper, 27 September 2021)

       Traveling man and the obsession he loves to hate.

Şilan Narman was living in Istanbul and just 13-years-old when she met

Mithat Topal and they became friends.  However, Topal threatened her,

saying that "you have five older brothers. I'm going to tell them what 

we've been doing.", and he took her to Bingöl in eastern Anatolia, where 

the two hid out in a village and Topal became a shepherd. 

Eventually, the two families came to an agreement and Şilan married 

Topal.  But although the rift between the families had mended, Şilan's

relationship with Topal never did.  He would beat her for invented 

reasons like "why did you go outside?" or "you didn't turn the herd the

right way."  As time went by, the level of the beatings' violence increased

to the point that some days Şilan could not walk but, nevertheless, she 

never saw a doctor or went to a hospital. 

Thinking that having a child might change Topal's behavior, Şilan gave

birth but the beatings continued.  Topal was then convicted of using

narcotics and he became even more aggressive.  He tied Şilan up and put

a bag over her head, stepping on her hands and feet.  The next day, Şilan

got a medical report and filed a complaint against Topal but rescinded it a

few days later. 

As the beatings continued, Şilan filed another complaint and the court

put Topal in jail.  At this point, Şilan fled Bingöl and took refuge in a 

women's shelter.  But wherever she went, be it Istanbul, be it Bilecik,

Topal tracked her down and continued with his threats.  He told Şilan

in a message that "if you leave me I'll take your little sister.  You've 

passed 18, so I need someone younger.  I'll blow up your house with 

dynamite." 

Şilan filed for divorce and asked for custody of their child and 

100,000 TL (about $10,000) in compensation.  The court decided to

put an electronic tracking device on Topal and forbade him from coming

within 950 meters of Şilan.  However, on 10 September Topal kidnapped

Şilan, even though he had the tracking device on his foot. Şilan was

rescued in a police operation and is currently at an undisclosed location,

waiting for her nightmare to end.

türkçe links to original Turkish article

(Hürriyet Newspaper, 26 September 2021)

Policeman inoculated against evil spirits makes

the arrest. 

Bahadır Koyuncu was taken into custody by police in Fethiye, Muğla

province, after videos were discovered on his computer of women he

forced into sexual relations on the pretext of ridding them of evil

spirits (!).  Koyuncu's assistants A.Ç. and Ş.K. were also taken into 

custody but released on judicial supervision.

In statements from Koyuncu's victims, they said that they had sought

help for psychological problems they were experiencing from this

"holy man".  In their initial consultations with Koyuncu, he told the

women that their bodies had been seized by evil spirits.  In subsequent

visits to Koyuncu, the women were forced to have sexual relations 

with him "in order to expel the evil spirits."  

However (!), Koyuncu secretly recorded these trysts for blackmail

purposes. One woman stated that "with the blackmail videos he forced

us to have sex with him again.  We couldn't tell anyone about it. He

even came to our house."

Police searched Koyuncu's home and work place, finding two

unlicensed revolvers, on blank-shooting revolver, handcuffs, four

ungrooved rifles and 87 rifle bullets, a detector and 20 coins of

historic value.  

Also found were 5 rings, 5 objects, a Koran and ox horns, frog skins,

and symbols used in the "spell-casting" and "evil sprits expelling" 

sessions, along with liquids, tarot cards, written charms and various 

books used in the rituals.

tracked from Bursa in Turkey to Chad in Africa. 

                    Uninsulated electrical wires to blame  :(

A forest eagle with a tracking device put on it by BSPB, bird-lover 

organization Birdlife's Bulgarian partner, has been found dead in 

Erdoğdu village in Turkey's Konya province.  The eagle crashed

into an electrical wire with no insulation.

The eagle, which left its nest two months ago, was being tracked 

in connection with an investigation into the factors threatening species 

with a migration route in Bulgaria.  

Bulgarian bird experts suspected that the bird had died because the

tracking signal was coming from the same place continually.  So

they contacted Cansu Özcan, an expert Turkish biologist known for

her work on eagles.  In turn, Özcan got in touch with İbrahim Soner

Güzel, a local bird watcher, and local hunting groups.  

A team then went to the spot of the signal and found the eagle lying

dead under an electrical tower.  Many other birds have died because

of the electric wires in the area.  Özcan explained that 73% of the small 

forest eagles in the world are found in Europe and they mate in Turkey.

She noted that "the primary factor threatening this species are the 

uninsulated electrical wires."

        COVID's contagion goes beyond microbes.

In the Sakarya neighborhood of Istanbul's Eyüpsultan district Ahmet and 

Nuran Özdemir were living together, although in divorce proceedings, 

with their 9-year-old child.  A few days ago the child was diagnosed with

COVID.  When Ahmet bey learned about this he held his wife Nuran 

hanım responsible for the child's illness. 

An  argument ensued and Ahmet bey began to beat Nuran hanım, who

grabbed a knife and stabbed her husband in the chest.  He died at a 

hospital.  Nuran hanım was taken into custody and in her statement 

she explained that "He blamed our child's sickness on me and began

to beat me.  I grabbed a knife to try to scare him but it landed in his

chest.  I didn't intend to kill him. I just waved the knife around to scare

him."

Nuran hanım was put in jail.

"Beat & Release": After Stabbing Her 104 Times, He Takes a Smoke Break

türkçe links to original Turkish article

(Hürriyet Newspaper, 23 September 2021)

            Angelic survivor.

On 29 August in Izmir's Buca district, drug addict Feyzi Duran (28) had

an argument with his live-in girlfriend Aysel Pergün (28), sparked by 

jealousy.  As the argument ensued, Duran beat Aysel hanım and broke 

a whisky bottle over her head, in front of their one-year-old child.  Next,

Duran stabbed Aysel hanım 104 times (!) in the bathroom.  Her cries 

prompted neighbors to call the police and Aysel hanım was brought to 

a hospital, where it was determined that eight of the stab wounds were 

life-threatening. 

Duran was jailed and (somehow!) Aysel hanım recovered.  She and her

family took the son back from Duran's family on 1 September.  Aysel

hanım explained that "He closed the window shutters so no one could

see from the outside and I saw that he had two knives in his waist.  He

looked at me with a monstrous gaze and broke a whisky bottle over

my head.  Then he forced me into the bathroom and I tried to protect

my throat and my aorta.  As he was stabbing me I began to lose 

consciousness but I heard him say 'I told you I'd watch you die and

now I'm doing it.'"

                         Devil incarnate.

"Then he lit a cigarette.  Someone who heard my screams came but 

fled, with Feyzi chasing him and beating him.  He put my child on

my lap and said 'take the kid. I'm no longer looking after him.'  My

mother-in-law came and they closed the door so no one could see me.

He smoked another cigarette and cut my hair.  I want him to be 

punished with the biggest penalty.  Every time I look in the mirror I

relive the horror.  I have hose and knife scars on my back.  He didn't

just stab me, he sliced me up."

Samsun Finance Chief's "Tea" Dependency Leads to "Rehab" in Jail

türkçe links to original Turkish article

(Sözcü Newspaper, 19 September 2021)

                                 Portrait of a tea addict.

Bahattin K., the head of the financial services office in the AKP (ruling

party) Samsun municipality, has been jailed after being caught red-handed

taking bribes.  Building contractor Y.T. received extra or early payments

from the municipality thanks to Bahattin K.  In return, Y.T. sent the bribe 

money to Bahattin K. inside packages of tea (!) and paid for his vacation 

expenses, too.

Bahattin K. started his career as an official in the Evci municipality in 

Samsun's Terme district.  After about 20 years in various jobs in different

district municipalities, Bahattin K. was brought into the Samsun 

municipality by the newly-elected AKP Mayor Mustafa Demir. 

As the director of financial services, Bahattin K. was caught red-handed

by police while taking a bribe from Y.T. on 22 December 2020.  Both of

the suspects were jailed.  In his statement, Bahattin K. asserted that the

30,000 TL (about $4,000) he got from Y.K. was a loan, not a bribe (!). 

However, Y.K. admitted that he did, in fact, pay bribes to Bahattin K. 

and a month later he was released from jail.  

The public prosecutor prepared an indictment for both Bahattin K. and

Y.T., in regard to taking and giving bribes, as well as for laundering the

value of the money obtained criminally.  But the court did not accept 

the indictment and sent the file back to the prosecutor, who then pursued

a separate case against Bahattin K. for hiding the value of property 

obtained criminally.  A new indictment about the bribery matter was 

accepted by the court.   

According to the indictment, police surveilled Bahattin K. and Y.T.

technically and physically, determining that they met twice.  On 23 October

2020, the two met at a café in İlkadım district, after which Y.T. put two 

packages of tea into Bahattin K.'s car.  The prosecutor alleged in the

indictment that the packages of tea contained the bribe money.  The two

suspects met again on 21 December 2020 and as they chatted in 

Bahattin K.'s car, tea packages containing 30,000 TL were seized by

police staking out the meeting.  A search of the safe in Bahattin K.'s

office revealed tea packages filled with money. 

Actually, a treasure trove of valuable items poured out from the safe in

Bahattin K. office.  Inside tea packages police found 135,000 Euros,

36,000 TL, 5 kilograms of gold including a one-kilogram ingot, 13

special-issue gold coins, 75 full pieces of gold, 50 half pieces and 1,059

quarter pieces, 23 bank account books from various banks in the name

of himself and 8 other individuals, along with about 40 real estate deeds.

The bank accounts were blocked by the prosecutor. 

Bahattin K. and Y.T.'s conversations were monitored by police and on

21 December 2020 Y.T. called Bahattin K., saying that he was in Samsun

and wanted to visit him.   The two then met in front of a shopping center 

after Bahattin K.'s work day ended:

Y.T.: your tea is in the car.

Bahattin K.: so nice of you.

Y.T.: tomorrow send me a 500. If you can, send a 600.

Bahattin K.: OK, I'll make it happen.

Y.T.: That would be great.  There's 30,000 TL there, inside the thing.

Bahattin K.: OK

Y.T.: I'll probably come next week.

Bahattin K.: Let's say I can do a little better. In that case, would you be

a bit more supportive?

Y.T.: Yes, but when I come next week. 

Also contained in the indictment was information about Bahattin K.

going on a vacation to İkizdere district in Rize province with his family 

six days after this conversation occurred.  Bahattin K. and his family 

stayed at a hotel in İkizdere for three days.  Y.K. made the reservation 

and Bahattin K. left without paying.  Two days later Y.T.'s construction 

firm paid the 5,977 TL hotel bill.  

Bahattin K. is being tried while in jail and faces a sentence of from

four to twelve years for bribery.

Sabri Çelebi first gained infamy as "Palalı Sabri" (Sabri with scimitar)

during the disturbances at Gezi Park in Istanbul in 2013.  He lived in

Miami for a while and is back in the news now because of a noteworthy

investigation that is underway.  Çelebi is charged with forcing Moroccan

women into prostitution at his nightclubs in Istanbul, which were raided

by police on 10 September. 

The raids occurred at 3 o'clock in the morning and Çelebi's brother 

Mehmet Emin Çelebi (25) was taken into custody along with six other

people.  At the Opera Club Pera nightclub in Beyoğlu, owned by the 

Çelebi family, 45 Moroccan women (!) were taken into custody.  Another

17 Moroccan women were arrested at Çelebi's other nightclubs and all

62 women were sent to the Illegal Immigration Task Force-Border Gates

Directorate building in Pendik, Istanbul. 

                           Her majesty, in happier days.

In his statement to police, Mehmet Emin Çelebi asserted that he was

being slandered and that the women were customers (!) at his nightclub.

One of these 'customers' was Fatima Zahra El Guiraa (24) who was

chosen as the Africa Beauty Queen in 2015.  She told her lawyer that 

"I live in Turkey. I have a boyfriend who is a businessman.  I don't 

know these people (Çelebi's).  I just went there to have a good time."

Five Istanbul policemen involved in the Çelebi investigation were also 

arrested.  The police are charged with demanding $100,000 from the 

spouse of a Chinese national arrested in the raid for the release of his

wife.  One of the policemen arrested is Serkan Gül, who lead the police

team investigating the Çelebi's. (!) 

An Istanbul court had Mehmet Emin Çelebi, Vedat Özbağ (47) and 

Mahmut İlter (31) jailed for "establishing a criminal organization and

engaging in human trafficking."   The Celebis' accountant İlknur A.,

driver Engin A. and Kenan T. were released on judicial supervision.

             Won't strike in the same place twice, for sure.

On Sunday aboard the ferry that left Yenikapı in Istanbul headed for 

Bursa, Yusuf Yıldırım (50 and whose surname means 'lightning') 

sexually harassed G.Ş. (33) who was asleep in the seat next to him.

When G.Ş. awoke in a panic, Yıldırım fled to the floor below in the

ferry. 

When G.Ş. related what had happened to her, some passengers went

down after Yıldırım, collared him and delivered him to the ferry's

security guard.  The ferry then changed course and docked at a pier

in Armutlu district of Yalova province, where Yıldırım was taken into

custody.  

It turned out that Yıldırım was wanted by police for sexual harassment

against a child (!) and was charged with sexual harassment for this 

ferry incident, as well.  After being held at the Gemlik courthouse, 

Yıldırım was sent to the Bursa Prison. 

In her statement to police, G. Ş. explained that while sitting next to

Yıldırm he touched her but she thought it was accidental.  Later, though,

after she had dozed off, she realized that he was trying to put his hand

into her pants (!). G.Ş. panicked and Yıldırım fled.

Don't Drink the Water! But They Do Anyway, in Muş

türkçe links to original Turkish article

(Hürriyet Newspaper, 14 September 2021)

                                             Cheers!

Despite the determination that water in Gümüşali village 40 kilometers

from Muş in eastern Anatolia is filled with microbes, people from all

over Turkey continue to flock there to drink it based on the claim that 

the water dissolves kidney stones. (!)

The Health Directorate analyzed the water and found it to be unfit for

drinking but people continue to drink it and fill containers to bring 

home.  For example, Nedim Kaplan came from Bitlis to drink and said

that "there are those who say it's beneficial.  The experts say otherwise

but there are many who say it is healthy."  Sicracettin Babura from 

Istanbul declared that "I'm drinking this water and my kidney stones

are disappearing."  Cahit Sezgin from Kahramanmaraş also said he 

thought the water would be healthy for kidney stones.

On the other hand, Dr. Rıfat Somay, an expert in infectious diseases

and clinical microbiology at Muş State Hospital, explained that "the

water in Muş that some people claim cures kidney stones is actually

filled with microbes, bacteria and parasites, based on our analysis.  So

people who drink it thinking it's good for kidney stones are actually

poisoning themselves.  After they drink it we see many incidents of

diarrhea, vomiting, serious body fluid loss and kidney failure. Even

death."

The evening before last Uğru Balkoca, a psychologist for İBB, the 

Istanbul municipality, left his home in his car together with his pregnant 

wife and their 2-year-old daughter to go to a park in the Kağıthane district 

of the city.  On İmrahor Avenue in the Merkez neighborhood, Balkoca's 

car was cut off by Olcay Kurt, who proceeded to kick Balkoca's car and 

throw a brick through the car window.  In the course of his attack, Kurt 

shouted that he was the chief of staff to Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, 

but it turned out that he is a bus driver for the city's IETT transportation 

system. (!) 

Balkoca's horrified wife Dilan had the presence of mind to video Kurt's

attack, after which the Balkoca family went to the police station to give

a statement.  Kurt and his companion Nazire İlbasan were brought to the

police station, as well, but Kurt was released after giving his statement. 

Waiting for the Mayor to send his "chief of staff" in for

Balkoca told reporters that "My wife is 11 weeks pregnant, and our 2-year-

old daughter was in the car, too.  As we headed toward the park, the driver

of the car in back of me kept honking and acting oddly.  Suddenly, he cut

me off, got out and started to attack my car, shouting all the while 'I'm

stayed in the Green Beyza Suites hotel there.  However (!), during the

night she was awakened by someone touching her leg and saw that 

hotel worker E.A. (no relation, one hopes) was masturbating.  B.A.

Right away, B.A. called hotel reception to relate what had happened.

The receptionist confirmed that E.A. was a hotel employee and that

he was presently watering the lawn (!).  Ten minutes later the receptionist

went to B.A.'s room with a glass of water to calm her down.  B.A. then

called the police and did not leave her room until they arrived.  She

filed a complaint with the police against E.A. for sexual assault and 

against the receptionist and the hotel owner for not taking the necessary

E.A. was taken into custody but released on judicial supervision (!).

room via the sliding glass balcony door.  He claimed that he thought

that as he was passing by the room B.A. wanted his help so he went 

in.  He denied the masturbation charge but conceded that he had 

touched B.A.'s knee in an effort to determine whether she was okay or

not.  At that moment, B.A. woke up and chased him from the room.

He asserted that he had not sexually harassed B.A.

"Beat & Release": Ultraviolet Blood Tracking Leads to Girl's Killer's Arrest in Istanbul

türkçe links to original Turkish article

(Hürriyet Newspaper, 10 September 2021)

                            A pensive killer and his prey.

In Sultangazi, Istanbul, Cemile Şenel (17) died of a bullet wound at the 

hospital she was brought to.  But police had no information about who 

brought Cemile hanım to the hospital nor where she had been shot.  They

first looked at hospital security video and identified Ramazan Rohani 

Çakın as the person who brought her there. Taken into custody, Çakın

explained that "I found the woman injured on the road so I stopped a 

passing car and took her to the hospital."

Based on Çakın's information, police went to Eski Edirne Asfaltı Avenue

and by talking with shopkeepers and looking at video they determined

the point where Cemile hanım got into the car.  There were some

indistinct blood drops on the pavement, which police followed to a 

nearby apartment house.  Using ultraviolet sensing devices, police

found "cleaned" bloodstains inside the building that led them to a third-

floor flat, which was empty.  

A locksmith opened the door to the flat and again, using ultraviolet

sensing devices, the police found a "cleaned" pool of  blood, along 

with two bullet empty bullet shells and bullet ricochet marks on the 

wall.  Looking at video from a shop across the street, police saw

that Çakın had lied to them and that when Cemile hanım was taken

from the apartment building she was accompanied by two women

and two men. 

In the course of cross-examinations, the individuals gave their names

and related what happened.  Tuğba Can, Aysun Çelebi anbd Servet 

Sürücü were taken into custody but Nusret Tekin was missing.  It

turned out that during an argument between Tekin and Sürücü,

Cemile hanım was killed.  Çelebi, Can, Sürücü and Çakın were 

jailed.

Tekin (39), who has been in and out of jail often and has a record of

25 criminal convictions, was captured with his gun the night before

last.  He explained to the public prosecutor that "I had an argument

with a fellow I've been at odds with and he said some things that 

made me pull out my gun.  Then I calmed down but he said 'If a 

real man pulls out his gun, he fires it!'  So I took it out again and

when he hit my arm the gun went off and a bullet hit Cemile."

Tekin was jailed on the charge of "intentional murder".
