The horror that unfolded in an apartment in the Büyük Bölcek neighborhood in the evening caused great sorrow in the area. Tolga Kuş (31), who had divorced some time ago, allegedly went to the home of his ex-wife, Kübra Kılıç (31), and got into an argument with those inside. After the argument escalated, he opened fire on his ex-wife and Kılıç's niece, Zeynep Ayaz (30), with a gun he had brought with him.
In the incident, which occurred in front of her children, Kübra Kılıç was critically wounded, while it was determined that Zeynep Ayaz and Tolga Kuş had died at the scene. Kılıç, who was rushed to the hospital, could not be saved despite all medical interventions.
Investigations by police teams revealed that Tolga Kuş and Kübra Kılıç had separated about 7 months ago, and that Kılıç had begun living with her children. After neighbors heard gunshots and reported the situation to the police, teams arrived at the scene in a short time.
According to allegations, a fit of jealousy was behind the incident. It was claimed that Tolga Kuş had been harassing his ex-wife due to jealousy and had come to the house for this reason. After entering the house, Kuş shot his ex-wife first, then the niece who was in the house, before turning the gun on himself and committing suicide.
It was reported that the 12 and 4-year-old children who were in the house during the incident have been taken into protective custody. Meanwhile, the bodies of the three individuals will be handed over to their families following autopsies.
While police teams have launched a wide-ranging investigation into the incident, this tragic event in the neighborhood has also found wide resonance on social media. The details of the investigation are expected to become clear in the coming days.
