On October 27, around 12:00 PM, Yasemin Uludağ Çetin (52), who was going home with her daughter Z.Ç. and son A.E.Ç. in the Bağlarbaşı neighborhood of Nilüfer district in Bursa, was attacked by her estranged husband, dental technician Atilla Çetin (60), who was following her. Atilla Çetin shot Yasemin Uludağ Çetin in the head with a gun in front of their house, killing her. Atilla Çetin, who was taken into custody, was arrested by the court he was brought to.
"MY DAD TRIED TO KILL ME 1.5 YEARS AGO" A case was opened against Atilla Çetin for "intentional murder of a spouse" with a request for aggravated life imprisonment. The indictment also included the statements of the couple's children.
The couple's daughter Z.Ç., who said her father tried to kill her, stated, "My dad attacked me at home 1.5 years ago and tried to kill me. I had filed a complaint against him. After this incident, a restraining order was also issued. On the day of the incident, when we came to our house after having coffee with my mom and brother, my dad also came. He parked his car in the middle of the road and started insulting my mom with words like 'dishonorable, scoundrel' and approached her. When I tried to push him away, he shot my mom with the gun he took from his car."
"MY DAD CONSTANTLY USED VIOLENCE AGAINST US" The couple's son A.E.Ç. stated, "My dad constantly used violence against me, my sister, and my mom. We reported him to the police. My mom filed for divorce. Despite this, my dad continued to harass us. On the day of the incident, he killed my mom in front of my sister and me."
"MY INTENTION WAS TO SCARE" In his interrogation at the police station and the prosecutor's office, Atilla Çetin, who claimed that his estranged wife cheated on him with two people and stated that his intention was to scare her, said, "On the day of the incident, when I went to talk to her, I got angry when she insulted me and shot her with the gun I had with me. My intention was not to kill or injure; it was just to scare."
Yasemin Uludağ Çetin, who was killed ALLEGATION OF "PLANNED MURDER" The trial of Atilla Çetin continued at the Bursa 18th High Criminal Court. The detained defendant attended the hearing, where the parties' statements were recorded on video at the request of the complainants' lawyers, via the Audio and Video Information System (SEGBİS). Gülender Adıgüzel Özcan, one of the complainants' lawyers, stated that it was determined from security camera footage that the defendant had come to the front of the house several times before the incident, claiming that he planned the murder, and said, "It is seen that the defendant came to the front of the house many evenings in the previous 15 days and circled around 3-4 times."
"I PASSED BY TO SEE MY CHILDREN" Rejecting the complainant lawyer's allegations, Atilla Çetin stated that he passed by the house several times to see his children during the divorce proceedings, saying, "They say I passed by there several times in a 15-day period before the incident and circled around with my car. I passed by there 500 times or 600 times in 19 months. The victim had reported me to the family court 15-20 times. Each time it was rejected. I believe that a person who passed by there more than 500 times in that 15-day period to see his children would not have planned the incident that occurred."
Atilla Çetin "THE FAMILY COURT JUDGE'S GAME ENDED MY LIFE" Claiming that he was provoked by the victim's family during the divorce proceedings, Çetin also accused the judge of the family court where their case was heard, saying, "Let my neighbors ask how many times we have had arguments and how many times I have insulted her despite passing by there so many times. But only one thing has happened, a game played by the Bursa 7th Family Court Judge who wasted our time for 19 months. That judge extended our divorce case for 19 months with the instructions he received and ended my life after I turned 60," he defended himself. The President of the High Criminal Court reacted to the defendant by saying, "Let's not talk behind the back of the judge who is not here."
TRIAL POSTPONED The hearing was postponed to wait for missing documents and to listen to witnesses, while it was decided to continue Atilla Çetin's detention.
