I took out my knife in case he was afraid of the sound of the knife. I did not notice that the victim was injured. I just felt pain in my right hand. I didn’t hear the woman cry. He made statements against me. I don’t want to say anything. I just wanted to help. I am sorry that I lost his life,” he said.

In the case opened against Şeker on the charge of “deliberate homicide” and heard at the 3rd High Criminal Court in October 2020, a sentence of life imprisonment was given; this sentence was first reduced to 15 years on the grounds that the crime was committed under “unjust provocation”, and then to 12.5 years, considering his good behavior at the trial.
