(Hürriyet Newspaper, 7 June 2024)

          In a strange twist, he turned himself in to the police.

In Selçuklu district of Konya province on 4 June at about 6 o'clock in the

morning, university student N.Ü. (24) left her dormitory and began 

walking.  She soon realized that a car was following her.  The driver

got out and ran toward her with a knife in his hand.  The attacker then

pressed his knife against N.Ü.'s left wrist and began to sexually harass

her.  In a panic, N.Ü. bashed her coffee thermos against the attacker's 

head, prompting him to flee.  N.Ü. reported the attack to the police.  

Later that same day an individual named Ali Akdağ (23) called police 

to inform them that he'd been involved in a car accident.  When police

arrived at the accident scene they found Akdağ next to his car - plate

number 07 AKS 956 - and learned that he had struck and killed 

bicyclist Cihan Mert (31), an architect.  The police then realized that

it was Akdağ who had harassed N.Ü. earlier in the day. 

                   Deviant's innocent collateral victim.

Akdağ was taken into police custody and jailed.  N.Ü. explained that

"I didn't know what I could do with my back up against a wall.  He

had his knife pressed against my wrist and said 'Come with me.'  I 

hit him with my full coffee thermos four or five times and screamed.

He fled and a policeman who heard my screams gave me shelter in his

home.  That's how I was saved."

              And on their wedding anniversary no less!

In Kırıkhan district of Hatay province, Sinem Dönmez (30) and her 

husband, prison guard Enver Dönmez (39), dropped off  their older 

daughter at school on 30 May.  Sinem hanım then sat in the driver's seat

and fastened her seat belt.  Suddenly, Enver bey, in the back seat with

their 4-year-old son, attacked his wife with a knife. (!)

Since her seat belt was fastened Sinem hanım could not budge but she

took her foot off the brake so the car began to move. Coincidentally,

and fortunately, Gendarmerie traffic police noticed the car's movement,

intervened as Enver bey continued to stab his wife, and shot him in the

foot to disable him. (!) 

Having sustained 27 stab wounds at the hands of her husband, Sinem

hanım was rushed to İskenderun State Hospital and after three operations

she survived.  Enver bey was treated for the gunshot wound in his foot 

and taken into custody.  He claimed that he attacked his wife out of jealousy.

Sinem hanım stated that "sometimes while walking on the street he would

say to me 'why did he look at you?!  Do you know him?!'.  But that day

there was no such problem and, in fact, it was our wedding anniversary (!). 

We left the house holding hands but after dropping off our daughter at

school when I fastened my seat belt he approached the car with his hand

behind his back and sat in the rear seat.  Then he began to attack me." 

                Routine traffic check was anything but.

" I took my foot off the break and the car began to move forward.  The

Gendarmerie soldiers were doing a routine traffic check, noticed the car's

movement and tried to stop it.  When they couldn't prevent my husband

from stabbing me they shot him in his foot, saving me.  If the Gendarmerie

hadn't been there he would have killed me for sure.  I have stab wounds all

over and my two arms are in casts.  I want a divorce and the most severe

sentence for him.  If he goes free he'll come after me and my children 

tomorrow or the next day."

Sinem hanım's mother Emine Cengiz lamented that "he tried to kill my

daughter.  Someone has to tell this murderer to stop!  She's had 3 operations

in two days. Her fingers aren't moving.  I appeal to our country's leaders -

enough is enough!  Don't let the Sinems, Ayşes and Fatmas die like this!

Give these murderous husbands the most severe sentences to get them to

stop!"

              From left to right: Turkish Moe, Larry, Curley.

In Sarıçam district of Adana province on the night of 28 May, Erkan 

Ağuş (21), Ali Kılıç (23) and Ulaş Göl (23) went out for a drive.  They

called Muhammed Emin Beyazgeyik (17), to whom they owed 3,500 TL

(about $100), and told him "come, we'll pay you back the money we owe

you."  

Shortly thereafter, Beyazgeyik came and got into their car.  After driving

around for a while an argument erupted and Ağuş shot Beyazgeyik, who

was sitting in the back seat of the car, in the chest, stomach and leg.  

Realizing that Beyazgeyik had died, the three headed for Hocalı village

about 20 kilometers away.  There in a forest, they threw the dead body in 

bushes and fled.

Police were alerted (somehow (!)) to the situation and determined that

the three were hiding out in the village.  A police raid on a village house

on 31 May resulted in the capture of all three.  They confessed to the

murder and have been jailed.

               "Let me out so I can't right my wrongs!"

Emin Adanur, a former president of the Bursaspor football club, was 

arrested in April along with three friends for beating up two lawyers

and a court official who came to seize Adanur's house.  The suspects

were arraigned in a Bursa court and served 35 days in jail before 

being released on judicial supervision. 

However, Adanur was arrested again three days later (!).  This

time the charge against Adanur concerned his fraudulent promise to 

28 people to sell them houses.  The court considered him a flight risk,

prompting the order to put him in jail again.  

For his part, Adanur lamented "I was in jail for 35 days and I 

just got out.  During that time there was no activity at my building

site.  I ought to be there to redress the victims' damages but I can't

if I'm in jail.  I ask that I be released under the strictest of judicial

controls."

Concerned for his victims' welfare...

(Hürriyet Newspaper, 1 June 2024)

                         When guns are too handy...

On 29 May in Yüreğir, Adana, at about 6 o'clock in the evening truck 

driver Murat Kebude (37) took his two daughters from his ex-wife 

S.T., whom he divorced in 2023, and after buying some cake went to

his home.  A little while later Kebude's former sister-in-law Deniz Tuncel

(21) and her boyfriend Şahan Uğurlu (30) came to the house.

An argument erupted, prompting Kebude to shoot Uğurlu in the chest 

with his "pompalı tüfenk" (pump-action rifle).  As Kebude was 

absconding with his two daughters he encountered Deniz hanım on 

the staircase and shot her in the chest too. (!) 

Kebude then drove to Sarıçam, where his family lives.  He was taken into

custody by police there and jailed. Uğurlu died and Deniz hanım remains

in intensive care.

As for the argument that sparked the mayhem, when Kebude prevented

his daughters from staying with Deniz hanım, as they wanted, her 

boyfriend Uğurlu chastised Kebude, saying "who are you to behave 

badly toward my girlfriend??!!"  That was all it took for Kebude to grab

his pump-action rifle and start shooting.
