While Turkey has been shaken by the brutality of Semih Çelik, who killed two young girls on October 4 and then committed suicide, the emergence of a young man who closely resembles Semih Çelik has come to the forefront. Due to this resemblance, the young man stated that he has been bullied, explaining that those around him have treated him like a murderer and that his girlfriend has faced comments such as, "When will we see you in the news? When will you find yourself in the same situation? We will see you too."
Semih Çelik, who brutally murdered two young women in Istanbul before committing suicide, has become a topic of discussion in Turkey. Following the incident that sparked reactions across the country, a young man who bears a resemblance to Çelik rebelled against the bullying he faced on social media. The young man shared his experiences in a video, detailing the lynching directed at him and his girlfriend.
"I DON'T WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE A KILLER," HE SAID AS HE CUT HIS HAIR
The young man, who was bombarded with comments and faced bullying on social media, stated, "They are declaring me a killer. They ask my girlfriend, 'When will we see you in the news?'" Expressing his victimization, he mentioned that he was unfairly targeted due to his physical resemblance to the killer Semih Çelik, and he said that these reactions were psychologically challenging for him.
After the murder, the young man was subjected to numerous messages and comments from people, saying, "I do not deserve this situation. People make such comments without knowing me. I do not want to be treated like a killer because of my hair and facial features," he lamented, and shortly after, he shared a video of himself cutting his hair.
