"MAY THE EARTH NOT HURT YOU" After the incident, Canbay shared a photo with the deceased young football player, writing, "May the earth not hurt you, my sacrifice."
"MY SON DIED WHILE TRYING TO DO GOOD" Father Cemil Kundakçı, who was waiting in front of the Forensic Medicine Institution, stated that his son played football for Kars 36 Spor and had come to Istanbul for the holiday, saying, "My son is 21 years old. He plays for Kars 36 Spor. I just sent him there this year; it has been 2-3 months since he went. He came for a three-day holiday due to the holiday. My son has artist friends. There are rapper kids from Bağcılar, the duo Canbay & Wolker. They are like brothers, friends. Among them, Vahap Canbay has a girlfriend named Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu, who is also a singer. They broke up 15-20 days ago. Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu, I know my son Kubilay, their dialogues were good, he liked her. They had a good relationship. Vahap Canbay loves my son like a brother. They are asking my son for help. They say, 'Aleyna sister loves you, talk to her for us, I want to reconcile, I want to meet.' And my son went to the studio where Aleyna works in Ümraniye last night with Vahap Canbay and another singer friend, if I remember correctly, his name was Yalçın," he said.
"WHO GAVE THE INFORMATION THAT THEY WERE THERE?" Describing how the attack occurred, Kundakçı said, "While they were waiting in the car, a businessman’s son, whose name I learned was A. K., comes, knocks on the car window, and opens the door. Vahap Canbay gets out. I don't know what happened between them, but this person opens fire. When he fires, the bullet hits my son. It enters from one side of his body and exits from the other side, and my son passed away in the hospital. He was taken to the hospital in serious condition, and he passed away. My son lost his life while trying to do good between two people. A bright young child. And how did this person come here? Who told him that my son and Vahap Canbay were there? He must have received information from someone. Who could he get this information from? He could have gotten it from Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu, or as far as I know, Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu's mother did not want her daughter to meet with Vahap Canbay. And it seems that this person who shot my son was in contact with Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu through social media. I received this information. Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu's mother may have directed him. I don't think Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu did it, I mean, I don't think so because she loved my son. But anything is possible," he said.
"HE MAY ESCAPE BY SEA" The father, who wants his son's killer to be caught as soon as possible, said, "My son is dead. Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu is also currently missing. She will come out and explain whatever the issue is. She knows the issue because. In fact, there are camera recordings in the car; I think a ban has been imposed. In the camera footage, a scream similar to Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu's scream is heard. I think this happens after the shooting incident; a scream is heard. So Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu knows about this issue. The shooter has escaped, and according to the information I received, there is a high possibility of escape by sea. The justice and law must urgently pay attention to the sea route. They came with a flashing vehicle. This person must be caught. The suspect's father has been the president of a sports club. My son was also an athlete. He will come out and say: 'My son did this, here I am handing him over.' He will say that the son of a person who shows interest in young people is a young killer, a killer of an athlete. He will come out and hand over his son. My son's blood will not be left on the ground," he said.
"I TRUST JUSTICE" Cemil Kundakçı said, "The person who shot my son will receive his punishment. The law must bring him to light. I trust the law and justice. I am asking, I am asking. State officials also have children, they have offspring. Thinking of this issue as if it were done to their own children, they should find my son's killer and give him his punishment. As a father, I am asking, I am asking from other fathers. My wife is crying, she cannot stand. There are mothers; those who are in charge of the law should push their husbands, they should push them to pursue this issue. My son's killer should come to light. I am also asking you, please do not close this case. Go after it, pursue it until it comes to light," he expressed.
