Ayşe Tokyaz, a final year nursing student at Işık University living in Istanbul, allegedly had a relationship for a while with a former police officer C.K. (38) whom she met on social media. It was claimed that C.K. was dismissed from the police, and Ayşe Tokyaz did not want to marry him citing the age difference as a reason.

ALLEGATION OF INVITING AND DETAINING FOR A FINAL MEETING

According to the allegation, C.K. tried to convince Ayşe Tokyaz and her family for marriage. It was claimed that C.K. called Tokyaz to his home alone under the pretext of wanting to meet one last time, and the young woman was detained there.

TWO PEOPLE REMOVED THE BODY FROM THE HOUSE

On July 13, Ayşe's body was found in a suitcase by the roadside with her clothes removed. As a result of police investigations, it was determined that Ayşe was killed in the house and placed in the suitcase, and that C.K. and another person removed the suitcase from the house. It was learned that C.K. came to Eyüpsultan with the vehicle containing the body and left the suitcase by the roadside. C.K.'s friend, whom he called to meet, reported to the police when he arrived at the vehicle. C.K. was detained there.

PAINTED THE HOUSE RED

It was alleged that after committing the murder, C.K. painted the house red at night to prevent blood stains from being visible. After leaving the body in the suitcase by the roadside, it was determined that he sent the house key to a cleaner with a motorcyclist and tried to have the blood stains cleaned. It was learned that 6 people, including C.K., were detained as part of the investigation into the incident.

"THE ONE WHO DID THIS IS A FORMER POLICE OFFICER AND HIS BACKGROUND IS VERY STRONG"

Ayşe's twin sister Esra Tokyaz said, "He kidnapped my sister. He was keeping her with him by force. I went to my sister's place, to the house in Küçükçekmece. My sister's face was all bruised. Then I went in to see her. I said, 'Ayşe, come with me, let's go. Is he threatening you?' She said, 'Yes, he is threatening me, you all go. I am here to protect you all.' He was saying to me, 'If Ayşe wants, she can go,' but he was threatening Ayşe with a computer keyboard. The next day, he kicked me out of the house. He threw my belongings out. I said, 'Either I stay here with my sister or I take my sister and leave.' He said to me, 'No. You will go, your sister will stay here.' Then I stood in front of the door for a while, went to the dorm. Ayşe told me, 'I am fine. I have nothing. These are things that always happen. We always argue.' I said okay and returned to the dorm. I was calling Ayşe, she didn't answer because she had broken and thrown her phone. I contacted her with her phone. We had a video call. Ayşe was already sleeping, I woke her up. Then a day passed. I kept calling, they didn't answer. I tried to establish contact. We don't know who he is. A former police chief. And I know that his background is very strong," she said.

"THERE ARE THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW"

Esra Tokyaz said, "Previously, Ayşe had learned the entire record of my family, all of our records. I went to the house, C.K. was holding the door. I asked, 'Where is Ayşe?' He said to me, 'Ayşe is not here. I left her at Mall Of Istanbul AVM.' I said, 'Don't lie, is Ayşe inside?' He said, 'She is not inside, get out of here.' Then he started yelling at me. I saw Ayşe's shoes in front of the door. I said, 'If Ayşe left, how are her shoes here?' Then he said to me, 'She must have forgotten her shoes.' On Friday night, I went to Halkalı Police Station. They took my statement. I left the police station at 08:00," she recounted.

"I SAW THE BRUISES IN HER EYES"

Esra Tokyaz, who previously noted seeing bruises on her sister's arm, said, "She said it happened while joking. I didn't believe it. We met with Ayşe on Wednesday. Ayşe was wearing big glasses. I asked her why she wasn't taking off her glasses. She took them off, and I saw the bruises in her eyes again. The whites of her eyes were red. There was a man with Ayşe. I took Ayşe to the cabin. I said, 'Come on, it's not too late. I will take you. If he is threatening you, if he is threatening us, don't be afraid of anything. Without telling anyone, we will go out this door and return home,' I said. 'Don't tell anyone. I will protect you,' I said. She then said to me, 'There are things you don't know. You go now.' I begged her there. She didn't come with me," she said. After these events, Esra Tokyaz stated that she filed a complaint at the Küçükçekmece Police Department and the Gayrettepe Public Security Branch. It was learned that the funeral would be buried in Hatay Reyhanlı Family Cemetery.
