The incident occurred at a residential complex in the Huzurevleri neighborhood of the Çukurova district. According to allegations, 31-year-old Engin Yüce, who was reportedly suffering from psychological issues, began arguing for an unknown reason with his girlfriend, 23-year-old Şevval Çiftçi, whom he had met at his home.
As the argument escalated into a fight, Yüce attacked Çiftçi with a knife he took from the kitchen. The young woman, who sustained 10 stab wounds to various parts of her body, lost her life.

Upon hearing the noise coming from the apartment, local residents notified the police and medical teams. The teams that arrived at the scene determined that both individuals had lost their lives.
The bodies of Engin Yüce and Şevval Çiftçi were taken to the Adana Forensic Medicine Institute morgue for autopsies.
