A 19-year-old unsolved murder in Istanbul's Şişli district, where boss Yunis Doğan was burned with a hogtie and his secretary Hacer Eginay was stabbed 57 times, has been solved. A fingerprint found at the crime scene was identified years later thanks to advancing technology, when one of the suspects provided his prints to obtain a biometric ID card. Three arrested suspects face aggravated life imprisonment charges for "murder with monstrous intent."
The horrific murder committed in Istanbul Şişli 19 years ago was solved thanks to developing technology. In 2007, Yunis Doğan was burned with a hogtie, and his secretary Hacer Eginay was killed with 57 stab wounds. The perpetrators were caught years later due to a fingerprint provided.
FINGERPRINT SOLVED THE MURDER
When the fingerprint given by one of the suspects to obtain a chip ID card matched old records in the security system, the case was reopened.
The judicial process has begun for the three suspects detained and arrested in connection with the incident. The prepared indictment seeks aggravated life imprisonment for the defendants on charges of "killing with monstrous intent." This brutal murder, solved with the help of technology, ensured that justice prevailed, even after 19 years.
