"I SAW HIM LAST 2 WEEKS AGO"
Neighbor Gökhan İnce, who reported the smell coming from the house, said, "I reported to the 112 Emergency Call Center after our neighbors said that a smell was coming from Yüksel Ayten's house and that there were flies inside. Later, police teams arrived. They found the spare key to the house and opened the door. They found Yüksel Ayten dead at the scene. I saw him last two weeks ago. In fact, we greeted each other in front of the grocery store. After I left, he spoke with the workers. I haven't seen him since; he lived alone," he said. An investigation has been initiated regarding the incident.
