Mehmet Tural (62), who resides in the Doğrugöz neighborhood of Akşehir district in Konya, went missing on April 1. His relatives, unable to hear from Tural, filed a missing person report. During the investigation conducted by the gendarmerie at that time, no trace of Tural was found.

HIS MOTHER PARTICIPATED IN A TELEVISION PROGRAM

Tural's mother, Melahat Tural, also participated in a television program to find her son. Meanwhile, the Akşehir Chief Public Prosecutor's Office assigned teams from the Konya Provincial Police Department's Public Order Branch Homicide Bureau to find Tural.

SENT MONEY AND GOLD TO A WOMAN HE MET ON SOCIAL MEDIA

While the investigation was ongoing, it was determined that Tural sent approximately 200,000 TL in cash and gold worth 160,000 TL to a woman he met on social media with a promise of marriage, and then sought help from Kenan Yılmaz (32), who introduced himself as an "intelligence officer." Kenan Yılmaz, who lives in Istanbul and was in his hometown of Akşehir's Değirmen Köy neighborhood on the day Tural went missing, was also seen participating in live broadcasts on the television program.

CONFESSED HIS CRIME ON LIVE BROADCAST

For days, Kenan Yılmaz, who participated in live broadcasts on the television program claiming he did not kill Tural, confessed his crime today. In his speech during the live broadcast, Yılmaz recounted: "When he called me on the day of the incident, it was around 5:00 PM. I picked up Uncle Mehmet from the bus station. We had soup at a facility. Then we went to the fountain in our village (Değirmen Köy). I said, 'Uncle Mehmet, I will tell you something, but don't misunderstand.' I said, 'I don't know this woman's name, nor her home, or anything about her. I don't know anything except for the photos you sent me. Maybe I lied to you, but I confess. I'm not after your money. You told me to take you to Istanbul. I couldn't take you. Let me say this too.' Uncle Mehmet's way of speaking changed. He said, 'Why didn't you bring me? I trusted you. Now how will I go home, I've been embarrassed. This woman has already embarrassed me on her TikTok live broadcast.'

"THE GUN FIRED, AND HE FELL INTO THE ABYSS"

Yılmaz claimed that Tural pointed the gun at his stomach and they went to the area where the dam is located, and that they got out of the vehicle on the winding road. "We got out of the vehicle while going to the HES. It was dark. In that panic, I held the barrel of the gun. There was a struggle between us. I was trying to take the gun from his hand. At that moment, I reflexively grabbed his throat. He was trying to turn the gun towards me, to my face. While I was trying to turn the barrel outward, the gun fired. I don't know if it hit his head, neck, or shoulder. At that moment, I was left with a gun in my hand. He stumbled and fell into the abyss. We had already gotten into each other while being at zero on the side of the road. I was in shock, so I panicked and waited there for 10 minutes," he said.

THREW THE GUN IN THE TRASH AND WENT HOME

Yılmaz, who stated that he left the scene, said that during the struggle, he disassembled the gun he took from Tural, put it in a snack bag, and threw it in a trash container on the Konya-Afyonkarahisar highway at the exit of Değirmen Köyü before going home.

SKULL AND BODY PARTS FOUND

Yılmaz was detained by the Konya police in the studio. After Yılmaz described the location of the incident during the broadcast, gendarmerie and police teams that went to the area found a skull and body parts that were believed to have been torn apart by wild animals during the process. The teams continue their work to collect the bodies and evidence at the scene.
