It has been revealed that Nazir Ilgın, who is stated to have killed Müge Şahin in the middle of the street in Şişli, Istanbul, had also attacked nurse Ceylan G. with a knife 6 years ago. While President Erdoğan reacted to Ilgın's release at that time, saying, 'How could he be released?', the suspect later received a 14-year prison sentence but was released from prison after 5 years under probation. Ilgın is now being sought everywhere as the suspect in the murder of Müge Şahin.
Following the murder of Müge Şahin on a street in Istanbul's Şişli district, a similar attack in the past of Nazir Ilgın, who is being sought as the prime suspect, has come back to the agenda.
It was reported that Ilgın used violence against nurse Ceylan G. in 2020 and was subsequently released. However, it was stated that two days after Ilgın's release, he attacked the young woman again, this time attempting to slit her throat.
Ceylan G., who was seriously injured, clung to life after receiving treatment. The suspect's release following the first incident drew major backlash at the time.
HER LAWYER DESCRIBED WHAT HAPPENED THEN
According to Dilek Yaman Demir's report for NTV, President Erdoğan was among those who reacted to the suspect's release.
Ceylan G.'s lawyer, Çağrı Kılın, described what happened after Erdoğan's reaction to the incident, saying, "Following our President's words 'How could he be released?', he was taken into custody again. Thanks to the President's help, her life was saved."
RECEIVED A 14-YEAR PRISON SENTENCE
Nazir Ilgın was sentenced to 14 years in prison for the attack on Ceylan G. It was reported that Ilgın left prison after 5 years under probation.
After getting out of prison, it was stated that he became obsessed with Müge Şahin and subjected Şahin to similar harassment.
KILLED MÜGE ŞAHİN ON THE STREET AND FLED
In the incident that occurred in Şişli on Wednesday, it was reported that Nazir Ilgın killed Müge Şahin on the street and then fled. Following the murder, teams launched efforts to capture the suspect, Ilgın.
CEYLAN G. ALSO AWAITS THE SUSPECT'S CAPTURE
Ceylan G., who survived Ilgın's attack six years ago with serious injuries, also wants the suspect to be captured as soon as possible, just like Müge Şahin's family.
Ilgın being sentenced to 14 years in prison after the attack he committed in 2020, being released from prison after 5 years under probation, and now being sought as a suspect in Müge Şahin's murder, has brought the past incident back to the agenda.
