NEIGHBOR WOKE UP TO GUNSHOTS
Describing what happened, neighbor Berkan Torunoğlu said, "Around 05:00, my friend heard a gunshot. Then we went to sleep. I woke up around 08:00 in the morning. A while later, there was a knock at the door. When I opened the door, I saw the neighbor's daughter. She was in shock. I asked 'What happened?', she said 'My mother'. Then I immediately went to their house. The woman was lying on the floor. I thought she had fainted. A bullet had entered the right side of her head. There was a lot of blood loss. She had no pulse. We took the daughter downstairs; she was already in shock. The woman and the man were in the process of divorcing, and because of this, there were problems between them. We did our best, but when we arrived, the woman was already cold. There was a lot of blood loss."
Law enforcement forces are continuing their efforts to apprehend Savaş Temirhanoğulları.
