(Hürriyet Newspaper, 7 January 2022)














                                       It's hammer time!

Naciye Olgusay (52) lives with her husband and 4 children in a first-floor
flat in the Atatürk neighborhood of Küçükçekmece, Istanbul.  Last 
Monday, after her family had left the house, Naciye hanım settled in for
a nice breakfast.  

However (!), at 11 o'clock the doorbell rang and when Naciye hanım 
opened the door she was confronted by a man wearing an overcoat with
a scarf over his face.  Naciye hanım tried to close the door but could not,
as the man hit her repeatedly in the head with a hammer.  When Naciye
hanım resisted, the attacker increased the hammer blows. 

After this tussle in the corridor, Naciye fled to the staircase and began to
scream.  The attacker ran away and her neighbors took Naciye hanım to 
the hospital, where doctors noted 13 blows to her head and sew 10 stitches.  

Police looked at security camera footage and noticed that while the 
assailant was fleeing he slipped into another building, removed his 
overcoat and scarf, and continued on his way.  Police determined that the
attacker was V.E. (34), who lives in the same apartment building with
Naciye hanım (!).   He was taken into custody and confessed to the 
attack. 

In his statement to police, V.E. explained that he attacked Naciye 
hanım because her husband had taken money from V.E.'s workplace
and V.E. thought the money was hidden in the Olgusay's home.  

After police processing, V.E. was taken to court with a recommendation
that he be jailed.  But after giving a statement to the court, V.E. was 
released (!) under judicial supervision.
