The lifeless body of 44-year-old Makhfura Huseynova, an Azerbaijani 
national who disappeared after boarding a passenger ferry from Kadıköy 
to Beşiktaş, was found off the coast of Haydarpaşa. Meanwhile, footage 
of Huseynova boarding the ferry has emerged.

On May 2nd, at around 10 PM, an incident occurred on the Kadıköy-
Beşiktaş ferry, where a woman sitting on the deck with her bag was noticed 
to have disappeared. The bag was found, but the woman was no longer on 
the ferry, prompting authorities to be notified.

Investigations by the Maritime Port Branch Directorate teams identified 
the ferry as the "Kırçıloğlu 4" passenger ship. Checks of the black bag 
found on the ferry revealed the woman's identity information. It was 
determined that the bag belonged to Makhfura Huseynova, an Azerbaijani 
national. Teams reviewing security camera footage from the Kadıköy pier
determined that Huseynova boarded the ferry around 8:20 PM. The 
footage was shown to the missing woman's daughter, Nigar Yusifli, who 
confirmed that the person in the video was her mother.





















Camera footage from the Beşiktaş pier, the ferry's destination, was also 
examined by police teams and the missing woman's daughter. The 
examination revealed no footage showing Huseynova disembarking at 
the Beşiktaş pier. During a conversation with the boat captain, it was 
learned that the ferry's cameras had not been working since April 14th. (!) 

A search operation began at sea with two patrol boats from the 
Maritime Port Branch Directorate, one boat from the Coastal Security, 
and one boat from the Coast Guard to find the woman. 

Following the incident, search efforts resulted in the discovery of  
Makhfura Huseynova's lifeless body off the coast of Haydarpaşa. 
Huseynova's body was sent to the Forensic Medicine Institute for autopsy.

Meanwhile, images of Makhfura Huseynova boarding a ferry from 
Kadıköy have emerged. The images show Huseynova boarding the 
ferry with other passengers.

Haydarpaşa Rail Station is just across from Kadıköy pier.
