According to allegations, Akdemir and Tekin met and began a relationship in 2009, staying together for about 10 years, but Tekin eventually left Akdemir because he used drugs. It was revealed that Akdemir had become obsessed with Tekin, from whom he had separated about 5 years ago. Upon hearing that Başak Tekin had become engaged during this period, Akdemir reportedly boarded a bus from Erzincan last night and arrived in Istanbul this morning.

It was revealed that Akdemir went to the address where Başak Tekin lived with her family near the scene and intercepted the woman as she was heading to work. It was learned that the individual then forced the young woman to walk with him, shot her in the head during an altercation in the middle of the street, and then fired a shot at his own head.
On the other hand, it was revealed that Özgür Kemal Akdemir has 10 criminal records for "drug use." It was learned that the critically injured suspect is still receiving treatment at the hospital.
