In Cumhuriyet Mahallesi Kazım Orbay Street, Bahar Aksu was shot and killed while being forcibly taken into a vehicle with license plate 17 LT 343 by her ex-husband R.E. and his friend S.S.
4 SUSPECTS WERE DETAINED
The fleeing ex-husband Rüstem Elibol, along with S.S., who was driving the vehicle, and S.Y. and A.B., who were with him, were caught and detained by police teams in Silivri.
ACCOMPANIES CONFESSED EVERYTHING IN THEIR STATEMENTS
S.Y., who was taken into custody, stated that they had come to Istanbul as four people in his vehicle in the morning hours, and during this time, the suspect Rüstem Elibol said he had some business and took them to the area where the incident occurred. He mentioned that they waited there for a while, and after seeing Bahar Aksu, Rüstem Elibol and S.S. got out of the vehicle and tried to force the woman into the car. He stated that after the woman resisted, his friend shot her with a gun and then they fled the scene.
UNFORTUNATE WOMAN HAD FILED A COMPLAINT
Police teams determined that Bahar Aksu and the suspect Rüstem Elibol got married in 2019 and divorced in 2022, that they did not have any joint children, and that there were two separate complaint records against the suspect for threats and intentional injury in 2020, and that there was no ongoing restraining order between them.
HERE IS THE MOMENT OF ARREST
The moment of the arrest of ex-husband Rüstem Elibol was recorded by another driver passing by in traffic with a mobile phone camera, while the moment of the murder was also captured by the security camera of a nearby business.
RÜSTEM ELİBOL'S STATEMENT
In the investigation regarding Bahar's death, the attacker Rüstem Elibol gave a statement at the police station where he was held in custody.
The murderer, whose procedures are ongoing at the Homicide Bureau of the Public Security Branch, admitted to committing the murder.
Elibol, who said, "We got married in 2019. We divorced three years later. I could not accept this divorce," stated that he constantly followed Aksu on social media. He explained that he came to Istanbul from Çanakkale with his friends on Friday, saying they stayed there for one night and then returned to Çanakkale. It is being considered that Elibol and his companions may have conducted reconnaissance on the street where the woman lived that night. Elibol stated that on the day of the incident, they were waiting in the vehicle for Aksu to go to work, saying, "When I saw Aksu, I wanted to force her into the car. When she resisted, I shot her."
4 PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED
In the investigation regarding the murder of Bahar Aksu, who was shot and killed on May 5, ex-husband Rüstem Elibol, along with his friend S.S., as well as S.Y. and A.B., who were in the same vehicle, were referred to the courthouse after their procedures at the Homicide Bureau of the Public Security Branch. Later, all four suspects were arrested.
