POLICE ESCORTED LUXURY CARS ARRIVED, GUNFIRE ERUPTED
The incident occurred on the night of March 19. The rapper Vahap Canbay, known by the name Canbay, wanted to reconcile with the singer Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu, who he had separated from about 20 days ago.
Canbay asked his friend Kubilay Kaan Kundakçı for help. Allegedly, at that moment, luxury cars with police escorts arrived in front of the workplace. The assailant who got out of the vehicle opened fire on the rapper and his friends. The football player Kubilay Kaan Kundakçı, who was seriously injured in the attack, could not be saved.
HERE IS THE STATEMENT OF İZZET YILDIZHAN, WHO WAS ARRESTED
While the investigation into the murder is ongoing, the statement of folk singer İzzet Yıldızhan, who was arrested for aiding and abetting, has emerged. Yıldızhan said, "That night, Metin Kadayıfçıoğlu called me. He said Alaattin was involved in a fight. I replied, 'I hope it's nothing serious.' After hanging up, I called Bilal Kadayıfçıoğlu but couldn't reach him. As far as I remember, I then texted Metin asking, 'Is there any news from Alaattin?' I don't remember if Metin replied. The next day, I spoke on the phone with Bilal Kadayıfçıoğlu. He said he had heard something but didn't know what it was, and that he would come to Turkey on the first flight. I then set out in the evening and came to Istanbul from Ankara. Later, I heard about such an incident on social media. After that, when Bilal Kadayıfçıoğlu came to Turkey, we met by phone."
