"WE ARE IN GREAT SORROW AND CURIOUS"
Speaking about the incident, Hatice Kış's brother Üzeyin Avcı said, "We are in great sorrow due to this tragic event, and at the same time, we are curious. It happened during the evening prayer time the night before. My brother-in-law, who is her husband, was at the evening prayer when unidentified individuals came to the house and first forced my sister. We learned that she was pressured and tortured to reveal her valuable belongings and gold. After these events, the stabbing incident occurred. My sister was brutally stabbed. In the end, she was burned in the corridor. They wanted the house to burn along with her. It is a very brutal and heinous act. We are very saddened. The gendarmerie and the prosecutor's office are pursuing the case. We were together with them at the forensic medicine institution and received information. Our state is conducting the necessary investigations and inquiries at this stage. We hope that the media will also assist in this matter and that the perpetrators of my sister's brutal and heinous murder will be found, and the incident will be clarified," he said.
"NO SUSPECTS OR CLEAR INFORMATION"
Üzeyir Avcı, who stated that two people carried out the incident, said, "According to the documents we have, there are currently school camera footage. Although it is not clear, it is said that there are descriptions of two individuals. It has been captured on cameras. This is the information we received from the authorities. Besides this, there is no clear information available. Therefore, starting from our closest relatives, it is necessary to investigate who is in the village, both from inside and outside, to uncover this incident. According to the current information and documents, there is no suspect or clear information according to our state's authorities," he said.
"THE BRACELETS ON HER ARM WERE TAKEN"
Stating that the bracelets on her arm and the gold in the house were taken through force and torture, Avcı said, "I don't think there was a large amount of gold. I don't have very clear information on this. According to the information provided to us by the authorities, the gold and bracelets on her arms were taken by force, through torture and pressure, and they probably scattered the gold in pouches around the house, taking the gold from different places in the house," he said.
Avcı stated that they expect the incident to be clarified as soon as possible, saying, "We want the truth to come out as soon as possible and for these monsters to be caught. Because this is not an ordinary incident, it is not an ordinary murder; there is torture, brutality, and inhumanity involved. We expect it to be clarified as soon as possible," he expressed.
