(Cumhuriyet Newspaper, 27 May 2020)


It may very well be that everyone in the picture has the last
name 'Geredeli'. (!)

The night before last, Mustafa Geredeli (40), who lives in Yenişar
village in Kozcağız district of Bartın province and works in
construction, complained to his neighbor Celal Geredeli (67),
a retired miner, that his house lights were too bright and he threatened
Celal bey.

Last night, the two resumed their argument, with Mustafa bey
grabbing his hunting rifle and shooting Celal bey and his daughter-
in-law Selda Geredeli (45).  Next, Mustafa bey shot Celal bey's
son Bilal Geredeli (46) and another neighbor, Döndü Geredeli (60),
who tried to intervene.  Mustafa bey then shot himself. (!)


 Is that really water Mustafa bey?

Both Celal bey and Selda hanım died from their wounds and were
buried at the village cemetery yesterday.  Mustafa bey remains in
intensive care after his suicide attempt and Bilal bey and Döndü
bey are being treated for their injuries.

 
       Kozcağız district is southwest of Bartın city.
