13-year-old Melek Göçer was shot in the head with a gun at the house of a family who went from Mersin to Adana's Ceyhan district to collect olives.
The incident in Adana took place on November 2, around 16.30, in a single-storey house on 362 Street, Fatih Sultan Mehmet District, Ceyhan district.
Hüseyin Can Boçkır, an agricultural worker living in Mersin, came to his sister living in Ceyhan to collect olives with his wife Bahriye Güzel Boçkır and father Aydın B.
According to the news on İHA, 13-year-old Melek Göçer was shot in the head with a gun when the family finished their work in the field and returned home. The child was taken to Ceyhan State Hospital by his uncle Hüseyin Can Boçkır. It was learned that Hüseyin Can Boçkır said that his nephew was injured in a traffic accident at the hospital.
During the examination by the doctors, it was determined that Melek had a bullet entry on her left eyebrow. The little girl was referred to Adana City Hospital and underwent surgery. However, Melek Göçer died in the hospital on November 5 and was buried in Ceyhan New Cemetery.
Hüseyin Can Boçkır, who said in his first statement that his nephew was injured in a traffic accident, later changed his statement and stated that he heard a gunshot while he was changing at home and saw Melek covered in blood when he entered the room. Hüseyin Can Boçkır claimed that his nephew was playing with a gun and the gun went off.
However, during the investigation, it was revealed that this narrative did not reflect the truth. Within the scope of the investigation initiated by the Ceyhan Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, police teams detained 6 people, including father Mehmet Göçer, uncle Hüseyin Can Boçkır and his wife Bahriye Güzel Boçkır.
Bahriye Güzel Boçkır, who was questioned again within the scope of the investigation, explained that she fired the gun herself. Bahriye Güzel Boçkır, who claimed that she received death threats from her ex-husband during the separation from her first marriage, said that she and her husband kept a gun for protection and brought the gun from Mersin to Ceyhan.
Explaining that she hid the gun in the bed in the bedroom so that the children would not touch it, Bahriye Güzel Boçkır stated that she took the gun from the bed after coming home on the day of the incident and said, "Melek was sitting on the sofa and playing with the phone. I took the gun, it was in my palm sideways, not holding the handle. I pressed the magazine eject button, and suddenly the gun fired. Melek was standing straight, her head suddenly leaned against the wall, her eyes were closed."
Explaining that her husband, Hüseyin Can Boçkır, took Melek in his arms and took her to the hospital after the incident, Bahriye Güzel Boçkır said that she left the house with the gun and the empty cartridge and said, "I wrapped the gun in a red cloth and took the empty cartridge and started running. I threw the empty cartridge into the manhole and hid the gun in my wife's relative's house."
Bahriye Güzel Boçkır, who claimed that she loved Melek very much and that there was no problem between them, claimed that the incident was an accident and said, "I loved Melek very much, there is no problem between them. This incident is completely an accident, I did not do this incident consciously. I could not tell the police about the incident because I was afraid. Later, I sincerely told the police about the incident and showed the place where I threw the shell. I regret injuring Melek."
In line with Bahriye Güzel Boçkır's statement, police teams found the gun used in the incident and the empty cartridge and kept them under protection. Hüseyin Can Boçkır and his wife Bahriye Güzel Boçkır, who were referred to the courthouse after their procedures at the police station, were arrested and sent to prison.
It was learned that the investigation into whether the incident was an accident or a deliberate act is ongoing.
