"HE SET IT ON FIRE WITH A LIGHTER"
Zübeyir K.'s aunt, Yeter İrdem, said, "The incident occurred around 08:30 in the morning. His mother and father had gone to work. Zübeyir was home alone. At that time, he cut the natural gas pipe and set it on fire with a lighter. That's all I know. Zübeyir had psychological problems. He was receiving treatment. He had tried to harm himself a few times before this incident."
"WINDOWS BROKE IN OTHER HOUSES"
The family's neighbor, Ercan Öztürk, stated, "We heard a loud noise. We realized it was a natural gas explosion. The windows in other houses broke. When we went outside, we heard Zübeyir's screams. He had burns on his hands. We called an ambulance. They did what was necessary and took him to the hospital. Zübeyir was a single man living with his family. He had psychological problems. He was intermittently entering and leaving jobs. He had difficulties due to unemployment and various other reasons, although not excessively."
