What happens when guns inspire Instagram videos...
In Istanbul's Fatih district, last Tuesday evening Uzbek Sardor
Gabbarov wanted to make a video clip for Instagram with his
revolver. He took the cartridge clip out of the gun and placed it on the
table. His friend Ubaydullo Rakhmatılloev (23), also from Uzbekistan,
picked up the revolver, pulled the trigger and the fired bullet entered
Gabbarov's head, killing him. (!)
In his statement to police, Rakhmatılloev said "Sardor and I had
'iftar' (evening meal during Ramazan) in our room. After eating he
took out the gun from a closet drawer, saying he wanted to video a
story for his Instagram account. Out of curiosity, I picked up the gun,
which I thought was unloaded. I mistakenly pulled the trigger and
shot Sardor. It was an accident. There was no enmity between us."
Rakhmatılloev's lawyer Oktay Süleyman Öztürk told the prosecutor
that "he mistakenly pulled the trigger. There was no intention to shoot."
Nevertheless, his client was charged with "intentional murder" and
taken to jail.
The lure of Instagram "fame"...
