SHE LOST HER BATTLE FOR LIFE

Kumsal Kayan (20), who was shot with a handgun in an apartment on Hürriyet Street in Karaçay Neighborhood on October 28 and was first taken to Nazilli State Hospital and then referred to Aydın Adnan Menderes University Training and Research Hospital and placed under treatment, could not be saved despite all interventions.

DESPITE A PROTECTION ORDER, SHE WENT TO HIM

The incident occurred around 14:00 on October 28 on the third floor of an apartment building on Hürriyet Street in Karaçay Neighborhood. An argument broke out over the phone for a reason not yet known between V.D. and his ex-girlfriend Kumsal Kayan, who had obtained a protection order against him. After the argument, V.D. went to the young woman, who lived with her mother.

The argument between the parties quickly turned into a fight. V.D. shot Kumsal Kayan in the head with a handgun he pulled from his waist and fled. Following reports from neighbors who heard the gunshots, police and medical teams were dispatched to the address.

HE WAS CAUGHT AT THE CEMETERY AND ARRESTED

Police teams that launched an investigation into the incident caught V.D. at Eğriboyun Cemetery while he was attempting suicide, with the handgun used in the crime. It had been stated that the suspect had a record for the crimes of 'using drugs' and 'armed injury.' V.D., who was referred to the courthouse, was arrested by the court to which he was brought.
