Ali İhsan Adatepe, who claimed that the basis of the incident was an issue of debt and debt and that the suspect was beaten first, said, "As far as I heard, there were combine harvesters, there was an issue of debt with them. I guess they are from Kırşehir. The harvester drivers had beaten the child before. After beating them, they talked on the phone again; he says, 'Come, let me pay, let's make an agreement.' They met in the big village on that side. When they came, he set an ambush for them. "He shot him, as far as we know," he said.
"HE SHOOT THOSE WHO DIDN'T GIVE ME THE CAR AND THE FEMALE TEACHERS HE AMERED WITH ON THE ROAD"
Claiming that the suspect continued to commit murder in order to steal a vehicle on the escape route after the first attack, Adatepe said, "After shooting them, he goes back to the coastal side. On his way to the coastal side, he comes across two people. He wants to change the car, and when they do not give him the car, he shoots them as well. From there, he wanders around Bayat, Çıkrık, and comes across female teachers on the Fethibey road, on the Gazlıgöl side. He told them, 'get off, I will change the car'. One of them was getting out, the other was not getting out. "I guess he moved and shot them to get the car, that's all we know."
