A jeweler named Kotan D. shot his customer who came to his workplace to demand his debt in Eyüpsultan, Istanbul. Those moments were recorded second by second by the security camera of the workplace.

The incident occurred last October in Eyüpsultan Alibeyköy. According to the allegations, 62-year-old Müsamettin B. went to the workplace of Kotan D., who operates a jewelry store on Vardar Boulevard, to retrieve the debt he had given in gold. After a while of conversation between the parties, jeweler Kotan D. pulled out his gun from under the counter and shot Müsamettin B. in the leg.

THE ATTACKER WAS ARRESTED

After the incident, Kotan D. went to the police station and surrendered, while the injured Müsamettin B. was taken to the hospital for treatment. Those moments were reflected second by second on the security camera of the workplace. After completing his procedures at the police station, Kotan D. was transferred to the Istanbul Courthouse located in Çağlayan. Here, the suspect, who gave a statement at the Prosecutor's Office, was later arrested by the duty magistrate and sent to prison.

ALLEGATION OF "CUSTOMER ASKED FOR TOO MUCH GOLD"

Meanwhile, the statement given by jeweler Kotan D. at the police station has emerged. In the suspect's statement, he said, "I have known my customer for 4-5 months. He left me approximately 175 grams of gold worth about 530 thousand lira with the intention of making a profit. 3-4 days before the incident, he called me and asked for 10 grams more gold. I panicked and was scared, thinking he would harm me. I took my licensed gun, which belongs to me, from the drawer on the counter and, in a panic, fired at the ground to scare him, but as I said, due to the effect of panic, it hit Müsamettin B.'s left leg, calf area while he was sitting on a chair. I regret what I did," it was reported.

"I WAS SHOT WHILE SITTING"

The complainant Müsamettin B. stated in his testimony that he had a debt of 186 grams of gold from Kotan D., saying, "He pointed the gun at me and pulled the trigger. The gun did not fire. He pulled the trigger a second time, and the gun did not fire in the same way. I asked, 'Is your gun a blank? Why is it pointed at me?' Just as I was about to get up, when he pulled the trigger for the third time, the gun fired. I was shot while sitting in my place," it was learned.
