A 20-year-old suspect, who allegedly killed his father-in-law and two brothers-in-law for harassing his girlfriend in Adana, came to his senses in court. In his statement at the court, 20-year-old Talat Ateş reportedly said, "I wish it hadn't happened, I am very regretful. My life has turned dark." The suspect was arrested by the court he was brought before.

In a gun attack on a business selling medical products located on Hacı Ömer Sabancı Street in the Yenibaraj neighborhood of the Seyhan district in Adana, the operator Fuat Kalaycık (64) and his sons-in-law Özgür Ozan Ekinci (43) and Oğuzhan Söylemezler lost their lives. The 20-year-old Talat Ateş, who carried out the incident, was captured shortly after the attack.

ALLEGATION OF HARASSMENT

According to the allegation, Talat A.'s (20) girlfriend A.A. (17) started an internship at Fuat Kalaycık's (64) workplace. Talat A. went to pick up his girlfriend A.A. after work. It was claimed that upon questioning by Talat A., A.A. said, "Fuat Kalaycık harassed me," as she appeared to be in a bad mood. Enraged by the situation, Talat A. went home, took his guns, and came to the workplace.

FIRED UNTIL THE BULLETS RAN OUT

He then opened fire until the bullets in both of his guns were exhausted. As a result of the gunfire, Fuat Kalaycık (64) and his sons-in-law Özgür Ozan Ekinci (43) and Oğuzhan Söylemezler (29) collapsed to the ground in a pool of blood. Upon notification, a large number of police and medical teams were dispatched to the address. The medical teams that arrived at the scene determined that all three victims had died at the scene. After the investigations, the bodies were taken to the Adana Forensic Medicine Institute morgue. After the autopsy conducted there, the bodies were buried. Talat A., who fled after the incident, was captured and detained by the Traffic Inspection Branch teams on Hekimköy Boulevard in the Sarıçam district.

"I WISH IT HADN'T HAPPENED, MY LIFE IS RUINED"

During the interrogation of the suspect Talat A., it was learned that he said, "I heard that my girlfriend was harassed. I went home and got my guns. Then I came to the workplace where my girlfriend works and carried out the act. I did it in a moment of madness. I wish it hadn't happened, I am very regretful. My life is ruined."

After completing his procedures at the police station, Talat A. was referred to the courthouse, where he was arrested by the court.
