Three Indictments Have Been Prepared Regarding the Death of Arif Ahmet Denizolgun: Doctors and Forensic Medicine Officers Will Be Tried

In the other two indictments, Denizolgun's detained doctor Nurettin Demirkol was asked to be imprisoned for up to 4 years for the crime of "false testimony", and three Forensic Medicine Institute officials were asked to be imprisoned for up to 8 years for the crime of "forgery of documents".

HIS GRAVE WAS OPENED

Former Minister of Transport Arif Ahmet Denizolgun was the uncle of Alihan Kuriş. Denizolgun became the head of the community known as Süleymancılar in 2000. When Denizolgun was found dead in his home in Beykoz on September 27, 2016, his nephew Alihan Kuriş took his place. Bakırköy Chief Public Prosecutor's Office launched an investigation upon the claim of Denizolgun's other nephew, Fatih Süleyman Denizolgun, that his uncle was killed. Denizolgun's grave was opened and samples were taken. An investigation was launched against many people. Alihan Kuriş was also arrested in this investigation.

LOST PHONE CASE AGAINST HER SISTER

In the indictment prepared, it was stated that after the fingerprint examination of the phone belonging to Arif Ahmet Denizolgun after his death, the court decided to hand it over to his older sister Ayşe Gülderen Denizolgun Kuriş, that the sack containing the belongings including the phone was handed over to sister Kuriş's lawyer Abdurrahim Çelik, and that Çelik stated that he took it to the house in Kısıklı with the guidance of Hilmi Tuna Kuriş and handed it over to the employee there. It was stated that no technical or expert examination was carried out on Arif Ahmet Denizolgun's phone after the incident, and that the message contents, photographs and any notes found on the victim's phone would constitute important evidence in elucidating the incident under investigation, but the phone was destroyed even though it was received by the suspects. It was stated that the act of destroying the phone, which was considered as evidence, by the suspects fell within the scope of the crime of "destroying, concealing or altering criminal evidence" and demanded that the suspects be tried with up to 5 years in prison.

4 YEARS OF PRISON WAS REQUESTED FOR THE DOCTOR

The second indictment regarding suspicious death was prepared against Denizolgun's doctor, Nurettin Demirkol. It was stated that although the suspect stated that he did not know who called the police on the day of the incident, it was proven by the 155 emergency call report and the statement of the police officer who arrived at the scene that he called the police himself. In the indictment, it was stated that the suspect was not the victim's private doctor, but introduced himself as the victim's private doctor to the police officer who arrived at the scene, the crime scene investigation officer and in the 155 emergency call notification, and considered the death suspicious. It was stated that although the suspect stated that he did not see blood on the victim's face, he stated that blood was leaking from his mouth in the death examination report, and the expert doctor declared that the victim's face was bloody, and although the suspect stated that he was at his residence in Kısıklı on the day of the incident, it was determined that there was no blood in Kısıklı in the HTS records taken.

It was stated that he stated that the police arrived about an hour after he went to the farm, but although the first call on the farm was 22:15, the time of the 155 report was 00:30, and although the suspect stated that only Murat Bayrak and the foreign national were at the farm, it was determined that Hilmi Tuna Kuriş and Alihan Kuriş were also at the scene. It was requested that Demirkol be punished with imprisonment from 2 to 4 years for the crime of false testimony within the scope of the investigation file carried out for the crime of "intentional murder".

FORGERY CASE AGAINST 3 FORENSIC MEDICINE WORKERS

In the third indictment, it was stated that Istanbul Forensic Medicine Institute Mortuary Specialization Department Deputy Head İsmail Çoban, record clerk Çağdaş Köse and the photographer Samet Çalışkan, where the records were kept, responded untruthfully to the warrant written by the chief prosecutor's office stating that "there was no video record", even though there was a video record of Arif Ahmet Denizolgun's autopsy. The suspects were asked to be sentenced to imprisonment from 3 to 8 years for the crime of "forgery of official documents by a public official".
