Appeals court upholds sentence for İbrahim Keloğlan, who killed the cat 'Eros'

The 32nd Criminal Chamber of the Istanbul Regional Court of Justice (appeals court) has completed its review of the appeal regarding the 2-year and 6-month prison sentence handed down to Keloğlan by the Küçükçekmece 16th Criminal Court of First Instance for the crime of "intentionally killing a domestic animal."

Deciding that there was no procedural or substantive illegality in the local court's verdict, and no deficiencies in the evidence or proceedings, the chamber stated that the assessment regarding the proof was appropriate.

Stating that the act was correctly classified and that the 2-year and 6-month prison sentence given to the defendant was applied within the legal context, the chamber rejected the appeal on its merits, finding the reasons put forward by the defendant, the defendant's lawyer, and the public prosecutor to be unfounded.
