I had a baker neighbor from my neighborhood. I have known him for 10 years. I said, 'Let's tie her head to her father. They will take care of her, she won't wander around, nothing bad will happen to her.' After that, we got engaged. They loved each other. They go to the hospital together. She learns she is pregnant at the hospital. The child's family does not accept it. After her family heard about this incident, they did not allow the child. He also wanted Oya. We said, 'Okay, let him go his way, let her go her way.' He said, 'I brought you a very nice surprise gift.' Then he shot the girl. We hear that she is pregnant. We asked, 'Who did this to you? Who harmed you?' That evening, we raided the houses of the people, we caught them. They took her family inside. We don't know them at all. Samet's family hears and does not allow it. He takes her with his brother and takes her to a forest. He shoots her, he got her a gift. We want justice, our hearts are burning. Enough is enough with these femicides, what is this, they shot the girl." she said.
