It was learned that Meryem, who went to prison for killing an 8-year-old child when she was 16, was a male named Serkan at the time of the murder, and that after being released from prison, she underwent gender reassignment surgery and changed her name to Meryem.
Meryem, who appeared on the live broadcast over allegations of being the "other woman" in a marriage, was previously revealed to have lured 8-year-old Hasret to a desolate area in 2011 by saying "I will show you the cats," and then burying her alive with her mother after striking her in the head with a stone.
'IT HAPPENED BY ACCIDENT'
Nanny Meryem, who did not accept the allegations against her, stated, "I was 16 when this incident happened. It was proven by the Forensic Medicine Report. The incident happened entirely by accident. My mother did not do it."
WHAT HAD HAPPENED?
In 2011, 8-year-old Hasret, who lived in the village of Şerbettar in the Havsa district of Edirne, left her home to go to school, but her teacher called the family to say the child had not arrived at school.
Serkan, who was 16 at the time, first threw a stone at Hasret's head to knock her unconscious, then dug a pit in a derelict structure next to their house and buried the little girl. While Serkan confessed to the murder at the courthouse where he was taken, his mother, Sebahat, did not admit to the crime.
The autopsy report for 8-year-old Hasret revealed that she did not die from the blow to her head, but rather from suffocation.
It was understood that Serkan and his mother had buried Hasret alive. Another scandal occurred during the funeral of the unfortunate Hasret.
The Imam, E.S., who led the funeral prayer, opened the shroud covering Hasret's face and took a photograph of her while she was inside the coffin.
