I DID NOT DO IT WITH THE INTENTION TO KILL

In his defense at the hearing, Furkan Durmaz stated that they had been having problems with the Bedir family for 5 years and that they were disturbing them by pouring animal feces at the bottom of their house. Furkan Durmaz, who claimed that Necati Bedir and his father had an argument in front of the mosque at noon on the day of the incident, reported that the argument continued at around 19.30 on the same day. Explaining that the Bedir family made threats and insults towards them, Durmaz said, “Mehmet and Necati Bedir laid my father on the ground and beat him with a stick and a shovel. When I saw this situation, I had a nervous breakdown. I put the knife we ​​used to cut the sack in front of the door, into my arm, and tried to separate it. Meanwhile, I went to my father and tried to separate him. Necati Bedir hit me with a shovel and Mehmet with a stick. Then I swung the knife in my hand. Since I was hit in the head, I swung the knife with my head down. Also, Necati, I did not do it with the intention of killing. He continued swearing, saying, “Kill them, don’t let them live.” They injured my arm with a shovel and a knife. I saw that my arm was injured, but I did not see who had the knife. There are also traces of blood on the shovel and stick seized at the scene. “I did it under the sun, I regret it,” he said.

HE REQUESTED HIS RELEASE

Furkan Durmaz also stated that he did not accept the negative points in the prosecutor’s opinion and said, “I have been detained for a long time. My family and I are victims both materially and morally. I trust the justice of my state. I request that my release be decided by applying one or more judicial control measures.”
