                         The sneakers gave it away. 

Yesterday at seven-thirty in the morning at Harakani Airport in

Kars, S.K. (23)  and "her" supposed husband H.İ. (28) intended

to board a flight to Istanbul.  At check-in, S.K. presented the ID 

card of female G.İ. (24).  

However (!), police became suspicious of the "couple"'s 

behavior and an exam revealed that S.K. is a man (!).  In

addition, police determined that S.K. is a fugitive, wanted

for six different crimes adding up to a jail sentence of 3 years,

6 months and 22 days.  He/she was then jailed. 

It turned out that H.İ., who played the role of S.K.'s "husband",

is S.K.'s brother-in-law.  He was taken into custody and charged 

with aiding and abetting a fugitive.
