                    Sort of like being shot in church.

Selman Başer (38), who lives in Muğla, was assigned as the 

data preparation officer at the Beydağ "Müftülüğü" (local 

Moslem clergy office) two months ago, so he moved to 

Beydağ, which is located in extreme southeastern Izmir

province.  

Sercan D. (31), with whom Başer had been at odds when

they were both in Muğla, approached Başer as he entered

the "Müftülüğü" building at 9 o'clock in the morning and

fired 9 bullets at Başer, killing him.

Sercan D. fled the murder scene but was apprehended

in Turgutlu district of Manisa province .  He confessed to

the murder.
