The four siblings who have been wanted for murder for months were caught in a surprising location.

In the Afşin district of Kahramanmaraş, four brothers, who were tried without arrest for allegedly killing their relatives Müslüm (53) and his son Süleyman Çinpolat (19) due to a land dispute, were captured by a special team established by the gendarmerie and sent to prison after 18 months of a warrant for their arrest, having been sentenced to 45 to 90 years in prison.

THEY KILLED FATHER AND SON IN THE FIGHT

The incident occurred on December 18, 2020, in the Binboğa neighborhood. According to allegations, a fight broke out between the feuding families over a land dispute, involving stones and sticks. In the fight, where firearms were also used, Müslüm and his son Süleyman Çinpolat lost their lives. Celal (54) and his brothers Turabi (47), Süleyman (45), and Mehmet Çinpolat (37), who were arrested in connection with the fight that also left some injured, were charged with 'intentional murder and injury' at the Elbistan Heavy Penal Court. However, the four defendants were released during the trial process and were tried without arrest. On June 14, 2023, the court sentenced the unarrested defendant Celal Çinpolat to 90 years, 20 months, and 45 days, while Turabi, Süleyman, and Mehmet Çinpolat were each sentenced to 45 years, 20 months, and 45 days in prison and ordered their arrest.

POLICE HAD BEEN SEARCHING FOR MONTHS, THEY WERE CAUGHT IN A HAYLOFT

After the decision, gendarmerie teams could not find the brothers at their addresses. During the time that passed, a special team was established by the Kahramanmaraş Provincial Gendarmerie Command to capture the Çinpolat brothers, who had not surrendered. The special team, which investigated all addresses the defendants might go to, determined that the brothers were in the Binboğa neighborhood. The teams, which immediately took action, closed off the village's entrances and exits. As a result of the search operations, Celal, Turabi, Süleyman, and Mehmet Çinpolat were caught in the hayloft where they were hiding. The four brothers, who were brought to the courthouse, were placed in prison after their processing.
