M.A.A., with chiseled good looks (!), is bad with alibis.
The jewelry shop of Duygu G., which had been shot at six times (!)
previously, was targeted twice more by attackers on motorcycles
wearing helmets, within a day of each other. Police arrested
18-year-old M.A.A., who both drove the motorcycle and fired the
gun in the second incident.
On December 5th, in Istanbul's Kağıthane district, two suspects wearing
helmets arrived on a motorcycle in front of a jewelry store. They fired
shots at the store with a handgun before fleeing. The following day, two
more suspects, also wearing helmets, arrived on a motorcycle and one
of them opened fire on the same jewelry store. No one was killed or
injured in this attack.
It was determined that the suspect who was driving the motorcycle in
the first incident was the assailant who opened fire in the second
incident. The suspect, whose identity was learned to be M.A.A. (18),
was caught. Judicial proceedings were initiated against M.A.A. for the
crimes of 'intentionally endangering public safety' and 'damaging
property', and he was arrested.
Duygu hanım's estranged hubby hired the teenage hitmen.
M.A.A. stated in his testimony, "I don't remember exactly where I was
on the day of the incident. I may have been at home or at a hotel
because I was drunk. I did not commit this act. Although my father
identified me, I was not the one driving the motorcycle." (!!)
It was learned that the jewelry store that was attacked with a gun had
been shot at 6 more times in the past months, and that 8 suspects
who carried out the incident were arrested, while 2 suspects, aged 14,
(!) were released on judicial control. It was revealed that the attacks
were carried out by Özkan G. (43), the husband of Duygu G. (40),
who is abroad and wants to divorce her, by hiring a hitman.
