"Sadly, she just doesn't have a sense of humor."
In Kahramanmaraş on 22 July 2020, bank director Turabi K. (50)
took a gun from a security guard and pointed it at the head of Melis B.
(34), the bank's customer relations expert. When Melis B. filed a
police complaint, accompanied by security camera footage, Turabi K.
was fired and a case was filed against him for "threatening with a gun",
a crime that calls for up to 5 years in prison.
At the 3rd hearing of the case in a Kahramanmaraş court, which
Turabi K. did not attend, the decision was made to obtain a statement
from him at his current location so he appeared before a judge in Mersin
to give his statement.
Once again, Turabi K. asserted that he had not threatened Melis B.
Rather, he said that "the entire incident was a joke. I don't know why
Melis B. filed a complaint. Everyone who worked at our bank branch
then was surprised about her complaint because it was all just a joke." (!)
However, when asked about claims that right after the incident occurred
Turabi K. called Melis B. and said "I'm coming to kill you!", Turabi K.
explained that "the reason I called her was to find out why Melis B.
had reacted the way she did to this joke. In the course of this phone call,
her older brother asked me a number of times 'are you coming to kill her?'
The first time he asked this I didn't quite understand what he said and the
word 'Yes' blurted out of my mouth. When he asked this question again,
I said 'No, no.' In no way did I mean to cause anyone harm."
After Turabi K.'s statement was taken, the court postponed the trial until
certain matters were resolved.
Turabi K.: "See, I do it to myself all the time. Ha ha ha."
