A significant development has occurred in the case of Sedat Peker, who made a big impact with his statements on social media in Turkey. İsmail Kocalar, a 42-year-old who testified as a secret witness in the case, was found dead in a cabin by the lake in the Manavgat district of Antalya.

CAUSE OF DEATH TO BE DETERMINED BY AUTOPSY

After the initial examinations by the Gendarmerie Crime Scene Investigation, the forensic doctor, and the Public Prosecutor's Office, Kocalar's lifeless body was taken to the Antalya Forensic Medicine Institution. It was learned that Kocalar had been living alone in the mentioned cabin for a while and had various health issues, including cirrhosis. The exact cause of death will be determined by the results of the autopsy. It did not go unnoticed that Sedat Peker retweeted posts related to İsmail Kocalar's death.

"THEY MADE ME WRITE SOMETHING AND MADE ME SIGN IT"

Kocalar had previously testified as a secret witness in the Sedat Peker case but later announced in a video he published on social media that he had retracted those statements. Kocalar stated that his statements were taken against his will and that he did not personally know Peker, saying: "They made me a secret witness by manipulating me. I have no information regarding any issue. They wrote something, and they made me sign it. I don't even know what I signed. I have no personal acquaintance with Sedat Peker. I just took a picture with him."

STILL LIVING IN THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

Sedat Peker is still living in the United Arab Emirates. There is a red notice issued by Interpol for him, valid in 194 countries. The public is closely following whether Peker will be extradited to Turkey and how the legal process will unfold.
