In the case regarding the death of Gabonese student Ibouanga from Karabük University, the defendant, who faced charges of "intentional homicide of a child" with a request for aggravated life imprisonment and "attempted sexual abuse of a child" with a potential sentence of 2 years to 11 years and 3 months, was acquitted.

In Karabük, a verdict of acquittal was given for the defendant accused of murdering Gabonese university student Jeannah Danys Dinabongho Ibouanga, whose body was found in the Filyos River.

During the verdict hearing at the Karabük Heavy Penal Court, the student's family, witnesses, and the parties' lawyers were present. The defendant, D.A., participated in the hearing via the Audio and Visual Information System from prison. The public prosecutor reiterated his opinion that the defendant D.A. should be punished for "intentional homicide with probable cause" and "sexual assault." The victim's lawyers requested the continuation of the defendant's detention.

"I HAVE A GRANDSON IN PRIMARY SCHOOL"

The defendant's lawyers stated that they believed the indictment and the opinion were written based on possibilities, arguing that Ibouanga's behavior could not be explained by the ordinary course of life, and requested an acquittal for D.A. and the termination of his detention. The defendant D.A. expressed his sadness, stating, "I am 56 years old. I have not done anything to embarrass my family. I also have a daughter. I have a grandson in primary school. I did not kill anyone. I seek refuge in God."

The court panel, announcing its decision, concluded that the charges of "qualified intentional homicide" and "attempted sexual abuse" were not established, and decided to acquit the defendant of all charges against him.
