“WE DO NOT BELIEVE HE FALLED FROM A HIGH RISE TO DIE”
Speaking about the incident, the elder brother Mustafa Küçükerdoğan claimed that his brother was killed by a person with whom he had an argument a few weeks ago and said, "It is said that my brother died by falling from a height, but we do not believe this. He did not like walking. He used to go everywhere with his vehicle. He was not someone who would go to the place where he died. Moreover, he had a fear of heights. I think he was taken there by force. I think my brother was taken there by people with whom he had an argument. That person is not someone who could do this alone. He may have instigated other people. They had an argument with my brother because of giving way. "He followed him for 5 kilometers. Then he went to his workplace. He said that my brother had video-recorded him during the argument and asked him to delete the footage. At that time, he tried to attack me with the screwdriver in his hand."
“HE WAS NOT ONE TO TURN OFF HIS PHONE”
Stating that there was a lot of suspicion in his brother's death, the elder brother Küçükerdoğan said, "We last talked to my brother the day before he disappeared. My brother-in-law had a funeral. He said that he was busy and could come to the funeral late. Whatever way he was deceived, he left the house in the morning of the incident, saying that he was going to work. He was not wearing work clothes. Then the signal of his phone was cut off. We did not hear from him for hours on the day he disappeared. He never had such a habit. He was not someone who would turn off his phone. He did not have any secret business. "He always told us where to go. We made a report. We did not get any results. We applied to a television program. The next day, we found his body."
“THERE WAS NOTHING WEIRD IN HIS MOVEMENTS”
His brother stated that there was nothing strange in Küçükerdoğan's behavior and said, "The last time we talked to my brother, there was nothing strange in his movements. Everything was normal. He had gone home shopping. He did not have any problems with his wife. We will follow the process."
