The incident took place on November 2, around 16.30, in a single-storey house on 362 Street, Fatih Sultan Mehmet District, Ceyhan district. Hüseyin Can B., an agricultural worker living in Mersin, came to his sister living in Ceyhan to collect olives with his wife Bahriye Güzel B. and father Aydın B..

When the family finished their work in the field and returned home, 13-year-old Melek Göçer was shot in the head with a gun. The child was taken to Ceyhan State Hospital by his uncle Hüseyin Can B. It was learned that Hüseyin Can B. said at the hospital that his nephew was injured in a traffic accident.

TRAFFIC ACCIDENT LIE REVEALED

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 B., 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 B. 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 B. and his wife Bahriye Güzel B..

HE TOLD HOW HE FIRED THE GUN

Bahriye Güzel B., who was questioned again within the scope of the investigation, stated that she fired the gun herself. Bahriye Güzel B., who claimed that she received death threats from her ex-husband during the separation process 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 B. 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."

HE THROWN THE EMPTY CASE INTO THE MANHOLE AND HID THE GUN

Explaining that her husband, Hüseyin Can B., took Melek in his arms and took her to the hospital after the incident, Bahriye Güzel B. 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 B., 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 us. 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."

A GUN AND EMPTY CASES WERE FOUND, HUSBAND AND WIFE WERE ARRESTED

In line with Bahriye Güzel B.'s statement, police teams found the gun used in the incident and the empty cartridge and kept them under protection. Hüseyin Can B. and his wife Bahriye Güzel B., who were referred to the courthouse after their procedures at the police station, were arrested and sent to prison.
