New developments are emerging regarding the murder of football player Kubilay Kaan Kundakçı (21), who was killed in a gun attack during a meeting aimed at reconciling rapper Vahap Canbay and singer Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu in Ümraniye. A chilling plan to kidnap the killer has come to light, drawing attention to interesting connections.

MURDER FOOTAGE EMERGED
The footage included moments of the vehicles carrying the suspects arriving at the scene and the moment of the murder.
İZZET YILDIZHAN'S STATEMENT
İzzet Yıldızhan, a close friend of the Kadayıfçıoğlu family, stated in his testimony, "Last night, Metin Kadayıfçıoğlu called me. He said Alaattin was involved in a fight. I said, 'I hope it's nothing serious.' After hanging up, I tried to call Bilal Kadayıfçıoğlu but couldn't reach him. As far as I remember, I later texted Metin asking, 'Is there any news from Alaattin?' I don't remember if Metin replied. The next day, I spoke to Bilal Kadayıfçıoğlu on the phone. He said he heard something but didn't know what it was, and that he would come to Turkey on the first flight. I then left Ankara for Istanbul in the evening. Later, I heard about such an incident on social media. After Bilal Kadayıfçıoğlu came to Turkey, we met by phone."
PHONE CONVERSATION WITH SUSPECTS
It was determined that Yıldızhan also had conversations with other suspects after the murder. It was learned that Kalaycıoğlu made a defense aimed at escaping from the crime. On the night of the incident, a conversation took place between Aleyna and witness Yalçınay Yıldız, and it was determined that Kadayıfçıoğlu was directed for the purpose of the attack. Additionally, it was established that Kalaycıoğlu went to the scene with Kadayıfçıoğlu and left the scene in a vito brand vehicle instead of calling an ambulance after the murder. It was emphasized that Aleyna assisted in the intentional murder and committed the crime of harboring the criminal.
PLAN TO KIDNAP THE KILLER EMERGED
According to a report by Yunus Emre Kavak from Günaydın; details regarding the escape plan after the murder have also come to light. A striking communication traffic was detected between uncle Metin Kadayıfçıoğlu and İzzet Yıldızhan via WhatsApp. It was stated that Yıldızhan had a close relationship with the family and owned accommodation facilities in different cities. The artist was evaluated to have assisted the main perpetrator in escaping and hiding instead of reporting the act of "intentional murder" to the authorities, thus committing the crime of harboring the criminal. It was also noted that there was a possibility of contacting other suspects who have not yet been caught to exert pressure on witnesses, escape, or destroy evidence.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The incident occurred on the night of March 19 on Sıddık Street in Ümraniye. According to allegations, rapper Vahap Canbay from the Canbay & Wolker group wanted to reconcile with singer Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu, whom he had separated from some time ago, and sought help from his friend Kubilay Kundakçı (21), with whom he had a good relationship. Kubilay Kundakçı went to the front of the studio where Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu was located, along with Vahap Canbay and his friends. While the group was waiting in the vehicle, it was alleged that suspects arriving at the scene in luxury vehicles with sirens launched an attack, and football player Kubilay Kundakçı, who was targeted by the bullets, was seriously injured. The young man, who was taken to the hospital, unfortunately lost his life despite all the interventions.
