RIFAT DOĞU KILLED HIS WIFE WITH A GUN
Dilan Polat's father, Rıfat Doğu, who was reported to have worked with base stations at the time, killed her mother, Nihal Ayhan Doğu, with a gun.
In recent months, Dilan Polat, who appeared on the program Katarsis, stated that she was 11 years old at the time of the murder and described that day as follows:

I think everyone was scared by the sound of the gun. I counted 7 bullets. The aunt who was our neighbor across the hall came.
