The trial of Bedirhan Şener, the son of former minister Abdüllatif Şener, on charges of killing his grandmother, continued.
The detained defendant Bedirhan Şener, his family, and his lawyers attended the hearing at the Ankara 1st High Criminal Court.
During the hearing, where it was reported that the report from the Forensic Medicine Specialized Board had not yet reached the case file, the lawyer for the Ministry of Family and Social Services requested to join the case.
