It has been revealed that 9-year-old Arda Karaman, who passed away in Istanbul in 2016 and whose death was recorded as normal, was actually a victim of murder. The stepfather and biological mother, who were taken into custody in connection with the murder and confessed to the crime, have been arrested.

The 9-year-old son of Fatma Çavdar from Isparta, who suffers from epilepsy and is from her previous marriage, Arda Karaman, passed away in Istanbul in 2016.

EVERYTHING STARTED WITH GRANDMOTHER'S CLAIM ON LIVE BROADCAST

The Çavdar couple went to Istanbul in May this year to participate in a television program to find another missing person from Isparta. While investigating other missing cases there, Arda Karaman's biological grandmother, who participated in the live broadcast program, claimed that her grandson had been murdered. Following this, an investigation was initiated by the Isparta Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. In this context, the Çavdar couple was detained in Isparta on May 20.
