Fugitive suspect arrested in investigation into death of Dorukhan Büyükışık

Dorukhan Büyükışık, the 26-year-old son of retired Major General Ethem Büyükışık, who held significant positions in the Turkish Armed Forces, left his home on the night of May 13, 2018, to go for a hike. His lifeless body was found the next morning at the base of a retaining wall at a construction site approximately 600 meters from his home.

Following initial examinations conducted at the time, the death was recorded as a 'fall from height.' However, due to suspicious findings, the file was reopened years later by a special 4-person investigation team led by the İzmir Chief Public Prosecutor.

The investigation was deepened to cover charges of intentional homicide, destruction, concealment, or alteration of criminal evidence, and perjury. In the expanded investigation, detention warrants were issued for 26 suspects, and simultaneous operations were carried out in 9 provinces, centered in İzmir, on May 21.

Digital materials belonging to the suspects were seized during raids conducted by teams from the İzmir Provincial Gendarmerie Command's Anti-Terrorism Branch (TEM). A total of 23 suspects, who were detained and referred to the courthouse after their procedures at the gendarmerie, were arrested by the court and sent to prison.

Fugitive suspect abroad arrested while entering Turkey

The net also tightened around field engineer Y.A. (34), one of the 3 fugitive suspects against whom proceedings were initiated as part of the investigation but who were determined to be abroad. Y.A., who had an outstanding arrest warrant and was considered to be a fugitive for some time, was captured today in an operation carried out by the İzmir Provincial Gendarmerie Command teams. It was learned that the suspect was apprehended and taken into custody while entering Turkey.
