"Taking into account the injury of Yunus Emre Göçer, the nature of the crime, and the initial findings regarding fault, the suspect Mohamed Hassan Seıkh Mohamud's statement was taken on the same day, and he was released following his statement.

Upon the death of motorcycle driver Yunus Emre Göçer on 06.12.2023, a detention order was issued for the suspect for the crime of causing death by negligence due to the change in the legal classification of the crime.

Since the detention order could not be executed because the suspect had left the country on 02.12.2023, an arrest warrant was issued for him on 08.12.2023.
