HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE INVESTING HIS MONEY AND GIVING PROFITS

In his statement at the police station, Evren Akbaba said, "I gave him a total of 470,000 TL in pieces of 20,000 TL, 30,000 TL, and gold. He was investing my money and giving me returns. For example, I would give him 50,000 TL. A month later, he would pay me a profit margin of 15,000 TL. He hasn't given me my rightful profit for 3 months. After that, I asked Caner for my principal amount of 475,000 TL. He kept stalling me and then said, 'Who would believe you have money with me? I already have everything. You don't even have a witness to say that you gave me money.' On the day of the incident, when I saw Caner getting into the truck, I went to him to talk. When I called him 'Brother,' he made a move to the side. I suspected he would take out a gun. I took out the gun I had in my pocket, fired a shot, and then ran away. I didn't see if he was injured or not. I regret it." In his interrogation at the police station, the suspect stated that he found the gun he used in the incident in the trash 3 days prior and was arrested at the courthouse.
