In the Adacık neighborhood of Beşikdüzü district in Trabzon, at around 22:30 the other day, Ali Eren Somun (30), who had a restraining order against him and worked as a minibus driver in the district, climbed through the back balcony of the first-floor apartment of his wife, candidate ship captain Sinem Somun (27), with whom he was in the process of divorce. Here, Ali Eren Somun killed his wife with a gun and fled after injuring neighborhood watchman Emrah Erata, who arrived at the address upon hearing the gunshots.
SINEM WAS TO BECOME A CAPTAIN IN 10 DAYS
Sinem Somun, who graduated from Mersin University’s Maritime Transportation department and was preparing to start her captaincy on the ship she worked on in 10 days, was buried in tears in Eynesil district of Giresun.
FUEL PURCHASE REVEALED HIM
Police teams scrutinized security cameras at the crime scene as well as the surveillance records from border provinces to capture the fleeing suspect, Ali Eren Somun. Based on the meticulously reviewed footage, the Homicide Bureau determined that he had purchased fuel from a gas station in Sinop at 03:02 on August 1, leading them to believe he might be in Sinop, prompting a large-scale search in the area.
During the field search, it was determined that the suspect had set up camp in the Akliman area and was staying in a tent. Due to the information that he might be armed, special operations police from Samsun were dispatched to the region. The suspect was apprehended while sleeping in the camp tent he had set up in a wooded area during the operation.
Along with the suspect, a gun believed to have been used in the incident, 87,120 TL, 100 US dollars, and various personal belongings were seized. Ali Eren Somun, who was taken into custody, was transported to Samsun after processing and handed over to the relevant units.
HE SHAVED HIS HEAD TO AVOID BEING RECOGNIZED
The suspect, who was caught while hiding, was found to have shaved his hair, beard, and eyebrows to avoid being recognized, and he covered his motorcycle, which had a different license plate, with a tarpaulin. The suspect, who was handed over to the Homicide Bureau of the Trabzon Police Department, is currently undergoing interrogation.
ARREST MOMENT CAPTURED ON CAMERA
In the footage shared by the Ministry of Interior with the note, "The person who secretly entered the residence of his wife, with whom he was in the process of divorce, and killed her, and injured a neighborhood watchman who intervened, was caught in Sinop," the suspect is seen being apprehended, with a gun and stacks of money found in the tent.
HE PLANNED THE MURDER
Days before the incident, the suspect shared on his social media account, "Revenge for Ali Eren does not come in haste. It won't cool down until justice is served. Let this be a lesson to you. Ali Eren Somun never leaves things half done," and it was noted that he responded with "133" to a post about violence against women and femicides that stated "132 women were killed," made by his murdered wife.
