"OUR SISTER WAS CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CLASH BY CHANCE"
Osman Kadıoğlu said, "As far as we know, the poor woman was caught in the middle of the clash there. A relative of hers had passed away. There was a memorial meal for them. She had gone to prepare the food. She had no business at the courthouse. Our sister was likely caught in the middle of the clash by chance after getting off the metrobus.
She was a wonderful person. She was someone who was very loved and respected in the neighborhood. She was our neighbor for 25 years. She never broke anyone's heart until this day.
She was cheerful. Her children grew up with our children. She had two children. They are also devastated right now. She was a good mother, a good neighbor, and a good sister to us. May God have mercy on her," he said.
