Why It Matters

Şefika Yeşildağ was threatened by Osman Oruç, whom she divorced 6 years ago. According to what the family knew, Oruç was constantly violating the restraining order and Shafika had been hiding inside herself out of fear for the last 3 months. On the day of the incident, Oruç entered the house with the key he secretly took and waited for Shafika to come back from duty.

Şefika Yeşildağ, a mother of one child who worked as a cleaner at Aksaray Training and Research Hospital, was killed with 15 stab wounds by Osman Oruç, whom she divorced 6 years ago, who was waiting at home when she returned to her home in Tacin District from her shift at the hospital at around 08.30 on November 2.

Osman Oruç, who was detained after the incident, was sent to the courthouse after his procedures at the police station. When asked by journalists "Why did you kill him?", Oruç claimed that they were planning to reunite with Yeşildağ and that he had betrayed him, and said, "I have no regrets." Oruç was arrested in court. Şefika Yeşildağ's body was buried in Karkın village.

'HE CAME HOME WITH THE EXCUSE OF SHOWING THE CHILD'

Şefika Yeşildağ's mother Gülizar and her brother Döne Yeşildağ spoke. Gülizar Yeşildağ said that one day before the incident, her daughter Şefika Yeşildağ called her and told her that her ex-husband Osman Oruç came under the pretext of showing her child and wanted to sexually assault her.

Yeşildağ explained that after his daughter reacted to the attack and forced him out of the house, Osman Oruç took the child with him and left the house, adding: "My daughter said, 'He took my key from behind the door when he left.' So I called a locksmith and told him to replace it. He said, 'Mom, I have a shift at the hospital at 20:00, I will go there. Come with Döne tomorrow morning, let's have breakfast, call a locksmith and change the key. "From there, let's go to the courthouse and file a criminal complaint," he said. We were going there for breakfast, we did not expect such a thing, but when we arrived, we saw his funeral. My child has been very afraid for a year. Especially for the last 3 months, he was feeling very scared. His ex-wife was pressuring him so much. My daughter wouldn't tell us her problem, she only told us that day. When I said, 'My dear Shafika, you have a child, you can reconcile,' he said, 'No, mother, I will not reconcile. He would say, 'If I make peace today, it will be the same tomorrow, I won't be able to face my family.' They took my baby away from his family. It burned my lungs, so I don't want anyone else's lungs to burn. "He should not be able to leave prison for the rest of his life, he should stay there all his life," he said.

HE CAME HOME IN THE MORNING AND WAITED

Stating that Osman Oruç came home on the day of the incident with the key he secretly bought, Yeşildağ said, "On the day of the incident, he entered the house with the key in the morning and waited for my daughter to come from duty. "When my daughter came home from duty, he attacked her with a knife and killed her," he said.

'ŞEFİKA IS UNDER THE GROUND RIGHT NOW, HE CAN SLANDER HER ANY KIND OF Slander'

Şefika Yeşildağ's sister, Döne Yeşildağ, also reacted to Osman Oruç's allegations that he was deceived, which he told the cameras while he was being referred to the courthouse, and said:

''On the day of the incident, he entered with a key. After committing this massacre, Shafika's murderer shamelessly took her bus pass, went to her house and said to her mother, "You can rest easy, I killed Shafika." Shafika is underground right now and can slander him in any way he can. Anyone can slander. Because he can't defend himself anymore. We know what Shafika is going through. He also had many problems in his marriage. We went to police stations many times. He was constantly getting restraining orders, but he was constantly breaking that restraining order. Because the child was in the hands of the murderer. He fought for his child because he was in the hands of the murderer. How can a woman who was already divorced 6 years ago cheat on him? He probably wanted to get back together. Shafika killed him because he didn't want to. I said to her before, 'Şefika, look, get married. You're divorced and have a child, but if you get married, at least you'll have your own life. "The court has already given the right to see the child," I said. He said, 'Go back, I can't get married before he gets married.' The reason he said this was not because of his love for her, but because he did not let her go and did not give her peace."

'His BODY AND FACE WERE VERY BAD'

Stating that he could not see his brother's body, Yeşildağ said, "He stabbed him 15 times, smashed his face and inflicted other blows in addition to stabbing. My cousin saw it, but the prosecutor did not want us to see it because he was in a very bad condition. Even though we couldn't wash his body normally, they washed it at the autopsy site. We lost Shafika, but other women should not experience this. May God not give this to my enemy. She didn't deserve this, no woman does. I hope he gets huge punishments. This is the only thing that will bring some peace to our hearts. It should be a deterrent so that other criminals do not do the same thing. This case should not be closed. Because femicide is a big wound for Türkiye. We experience the same thing every day. Don't let other Shafiqas die. Women should be valued in this country from now on. "When she gets divorced, she can live her own life and let these murderers stop chasing them," he said.
