"SUR CANİSİ" INVESTIGATION DECISION OF NON-PROSECUTION

On October 4, 2024, after brutally murdering 19-year-old Ayşenur Halil in Eyüpsultan, Istanbul, and 19-year-old İkbal Uzuner at the Edirnekapı Walls, the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office completed its investigation regarding Semih Çelik (19), who committed suicide by jumping from the walls. In the non-prosecution decision, it was stated that Semih Çelik and İkbal Uzuner had a romantic relationship for a period, which ended due to family interference, and that after this relationship, Semih Çelik had a romantic relationship with Ayşenur Halil, which continued until the day of the incident, but he did not end his relationship with İkbal Uzuner either.

SALUTED TO HIS KILLER

In the decision, it was stated that on the day of the incident, Semih Çelik brutally killed Ayşenur Halil by cutting her throat in his bed, and after staying in the house for 3 hours, he changed his clothes and went to the walls. During this time, İkbal Uzuner went to the front of the walls and waited for Semih for a while. Semih went up to the walls where the incident took place, İkbal saw Semih on the walls, waved at him, and spoke to him on the phone. Then, İkbal went to Semih and climbed up to the walls, where they met, and Semih brutally killed İkbal by systematically cutting her body parts.

NEITHER OF THEM RESISTED

The decision stated that no disorder was found during the examination of the house, that no DNA belonging to Semih Çelik was detected under the nails of the two young girls, that no one was found who heard İkbal Uzuner scream while she was on the walls, and for these reasons, no evidence was obtained that the two young girls resisted Semih Çelik. Furthermore, the decision noted that according to the obtained digital materials, İkbal Uzuner had previously attempted to strangle herself with a rope, sent these images to Semih Çelik, and sent photos of cuts on her chest and other parts of her body along with obscene images, while Semih Çelik sent similar drawings of female figures with heads and legs cut off to İkbal.

"HOW DO YOU WANT ME TO CUT YOU, CHIEF?"

In the decision, it was stated that there were records indicating that Semih Çelik wanted to kill himself and İkbal Uzuner. It was mentioned that in a conversation with his father the day before, Semih Çelik said, "How do you want me to cut you, chief?" and just before murdering Ayşenur on the day of the incident, he asked his mother, "Will we live until the evening?" The decision also noted that no third person who assisted Semih Çelik could be identified, and no evidence was obtained regarding the satanism ideology thought to have directed these actions, nor any evidence related to applications like Discord (incels) or Telegram.

RAN AWAY FROM HOME TO GO TO SEMİH ÇELİK

In the decision, which also included the statement of İkbal Uzuner's father, it was stated that his daughter was friends with Semih, who attended the same school, and that Semih had platonic feelings for his daughter, sending her numerous images and videos containing satanic expressions. Following this, his daughter changed schools, and due to the pandemic, no applications were made regarding the threats from this person. After a while, Semih manipulated his daughter's mind, and during the February 6 earthquake, his daughter ran away from home to go to him. They did not file a missing person report regarding this situation, and due to his daughter's running away from home, they took her phone away. About 6 months after the February 6 earthquake, his daughter ran away from home again, and they filed a missing person report regarding this issue, stating that his daughter was found sitting on the Edirnekapı Martyrdom Bridge. They took her to a psychologist, and after a while, they got her a cat, which she said improved her psychology.

In the continuation of the victim's father's statement, it was mentioned that on the day of the incident, when he called İkbal, a male voice answered, saying, "Don't worry, İkbal is in safe hands." He insisted on calling, and this time a different male voice answered, saying, "I am under the flag next to the walls. The phone fell in front of me from above, let me give it to you." They went towards the Edirnekapı Walls, and the person who answered the phone was a homeless man. When he asked this man where he found the phone, he said it fell from above. He saw that the crowd was looking towards the walls and moved in that direction, and shortly after, he said they saw their daughter's head.

In the decision, according to Semih Çelik's father's statement, it was noted that Semih was a religious person until he turned 16, that he prayed, and that he said he became a deist after the pandemic. It was stated that when he said he would not study while he was in high school, they took him out of school, he graduated from open high school, and that about three years ago, Semih was prescribed psychological medications, but he did not use them. His father mentioned that his son wanted to be a butcher, started working in a butcher shop, began using drugs two years ago, and had not used drugs for about three months due to not having money for drugs. He occasionally brought home alcohol like wine and beer, and about a year ago, when he entered his son's room, he saw terrifying black pencil drawings resembling a devil that frighten human psychology. When he asked his son about this situation, he said, "Our thought processes are different," and did not provide any further explanation.
