"SHE HAD PREVIOUSLY GONE TO A HOSPITAL IN ISTANBUL FOR PSYCHIATRIC TREATMENT"
Stating that the mother, S.A.D., was on medication and had not been taking these drugs for a while, a fact they only learned about later, her brother-in-law Mehmet Altuğ said, "They were quite happy; she was someone devoted to her children. She most likely had a mental breakdown. We have spoken with her, and she is currently not in her right mind. She doesn't even recognize herself. If she recognized herself and knew what had happened to her children, she wouldn't be alive herself. They had 3 children; one of the children has a physical disability. She had never been hospitalized before. She doesn't have a medical report, but she had previously gone to a hospital in Istanbul for psychiatric treatment. Her husband works at a furniture store. He was at work at the time of the incident. The eldest daughter, who is in the hospital, first called her father. Her father then called my son. My son works nearby and was the first to arrive. He took the knife from her hand and threw it away. She was someone very devoted to her children. They had some financial difficulties, but they were happy," he said.
Altuğ noted that the 12-year-old A.B.D., who was taken to the hospital, has been admitted to the intensive care unit and is in critical condition.
"I AM BEING THREATENED, THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE MY CHILDREN"
Tradesman Murat Akkurt stated that after his neighbor called out, they ran to the apartment together, saying, "We climbed up the stairs. When we saw the woman in front of us, she had opened the door; she had a knife in her hand, but she was covered in blood. It looked as if she had slaughtered a sacrificial animal. We were scared and ran downstairs. When the woman came downstairs, we were hesitant. Her nephew held the woman. The woman said, 'I killed the children, I cut them.' The woman was saying, 'I am being threatened, they are going to take my children.' When she tried to throw herself in front of a car, I held her and she fell to the ground. She seemed to faint all of a sudden. Her nephew took the knife from her hand with a stick," he said.
