Security camera footage has emerged showing a person in the Menemen district of İzmir running over his ex-wife, who divorced him due to violence, and their 9-year-old son with a car. In the prepared indictment, the defendant is facing up to 42 years in prison for 'attempted murder.'
INDICTMENT PREPARED
The incident occurred in November of last year in the Menemen district of İzmir. According to the information obtained, while Hatice Ekiz, who divorced him due to violence, and her son K.Y. were walking, a vehicle driven by Hamit Göksel Y. hit them. In the indictment prepared as part of the investigation initiated after the incident, separate prison sentences of up to 21 years were requested for Hamit Göksel Y. for 'attempted murder against a child and an ex-spouse.'
EMPHASIZED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SUITABLE FOR KILLING
The indictment stated that the bone fractures in Hatice Ekiz's body severely affected her life functions and that the injury could not be resolved with simple medical intervention. In the definitive medical report prepared for 9-year-old K.Y., it was noted that 'acute stress disorder' was diagnosed after the incident, and considering the duration of psychological impact and clinical condition, the injury exceeded the limits of simple medical intervention. The indictment prepared by the public prosecutor emphasized that the vehicle used in the incident was 'a vehicle suitable for killing' and that the act constituted 'attempted murder.' Victim K.Y. stated in his testimony that after his father hit his mother, he shouted, "Go tell whoever you want to tell" without getting out of the vehicle. K.Y. indicated that he did not file a complaint because he did not want his father to be punished.
DEFENDANT: HE IS SLANDERING
Defendant Hamit Göksel Y. denied the accusations in his defense, stating, "When my son asked for money, I headed towards the hairdresser where my ex-wife works. When I saw them on the road, I wanted to approach them from the opposite lane. Hatice jumped in front of my car while cursing. I did not hit either my son or Hatice. He is slandering." Complainant Hatice Ekiz stated that she had been subjected to violence throughout their marriage and requested the heaviest penalty for the defendant.
INCIDENT CAPTURED ON CAMERA
While the legal process is ongoing, camera footage that emerged shows defendant Hamit Göksel Y. waiting around with his vehicle for a while, then noticing his ex-wife walking with their son, crossing to the opposite lane, and driving the car towards them, and moments after the collision, he fled the scene.
