(Hürriyet Newspaper, 11 September 2024)














Kickboxers have quick reactions but bullets are quicker.

National kickboxer and trainer Caner Tikicieri came to an agreement
with Halil G. about a car he wanted to buy and Caner bey paid a portion
of the cost.  However (!), a dispute arose over the remaining 250,000 TL
(about $7,300) so the parties agreed on a time and place to sort it out. 

At 11 pm on the night of 3 September, all concerned met in the Aşık
Veysel neighborhood of Ataşehir in Istanbul.  Caner bey and Halil bey
came accompanied by friends. Unfortunately (!), the meeting turned 
ugly and guns were drawn, at which time Halil bey shot Caner bey in
the head.  Caner bey's friend Buğra Ş. then shot Halil bey, but the bullet
skimmed his head and landed in his left leg, lightly wounding him. 
Caner bey was taken to a hospital but all efforts to save him failed. 

In his statement to police, Halil bey "explained" that "I didn't kill him.
I sold him a car and there was an amount outstanding so we argued
about that.  His friend Buğra fired at me but the bullet hit Caner by
mistake.  I didn't use a gun during the altercation."  

However (!), a witness told police that Halil bey fired at Caner bey,
after which Buğra bey shot Halil bey, who was taken into custody
along with Muhammed Y.G. (19), who has a police record of 2 crimes,
and Kadir G. (19), who has a police record of 3 crimes.  All three of 
them were jailed. 

Turkish sequel on hold.
