Details surrounding the discovery of university student Ayşe Tokyaz's lifeless body in a suitcase by the roadside in Istanbul are becoming increasingly horrifying. Her brother, Abdulkadir Tokyaz, who received her body from the Forensic Medicine Institute, said, "I saw her face. It was unrecognizable, it was decomposed, it looked like a mummy, as if it had been mummified."
22-year-old Ayşe Tokyaz, a nursing student in Istanbul, was reported missing by her twin sister Esra Tokyaz. After not hearing from her sister for a while and suspecting her sister's boyfriend Cemil Koç, Tokyaz's persistent search led to the discovery of the young woman's lifeless body, found dismembered in a suitcase. Ayşe's body was brought back to her hometown of Reyhanlı, where she was laid to rest by her family. Meanwhile, it was reported that seven people, including Cemil Koç, a former police officer, have been detained in connection with the young woman's death.
SHE WAS KILLED BY BEING STRUCK WITH A HARD OBJECT
On July 13, Ayşe's body was found on the roadside, with her clothes removed from a suitcase. As a result of police investigations, it was determined that Ayşe was struck on the head with a hard object and killed at home, and that C.K. placed the body in the suitcase and removed it from the house with another person. It was learned that C.K. came to Eyüpsultan with the vehicle containing the body and left the suitcase by the roadside.
HE 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 by the roadside in the suitcase, it was determined that he sent the house key to the cleaner with a motorcyclist, trying to clean up the blood stains. C.K. and six others were detained. It was found that C.K. had a record for offenses including "resisting to prevent duty," "threat," "insult," "intentional injury," and "buying, possessing, or administering drugs or stimulants for use."
HER BROTHER SPOKE FOR THE FIRST TIME: MY SISTER WAS IN AN UNRECOGNIZABLE STATE, SHE HAD DECAYED
Speaking to Nilay Göl from tele1.com.tr, Abdulkadir Tokyaz, who said he went to the Forensic Medicine Institution for identification, stated, "I went to Forensic Medicine for identification. They took my sister's (Esra Tokyaz) DNA. They identified her from that DNA. They asked me, 'Do you want to see?' I saw. They only uncovered her face. Her body looked whole, of course, it was inside the body bag. I saw her face. She was in an unrecognizable state, she had decayed, it was like a mummy, her face was shining like lifeless mannequins."
