Why It Matters
4-year-old Elif Mavi Avli, who was hit by a car in the accident that occurred in Odunpazarı district of Eskişehir on September 3, lost her life.
The accident occurred on September 3 in Vişnelik District of Odunpazarı district. The car with plate number 26 AFU 319, driven by Fatoş Kilit Bilgesoy, hit Elif Mavi Avli, who was trying to cross the road with her mother Merve Avli.
Upon notice, police and medical teams were dispatched to the scene of the accident. After the intervention of the teams, Elif Mavi was taken to a private hospital and from there she was transferred to Eskişehir Osmangazi University Faculty of Medicine Hospital.
Elif Mavi Avli, who was taken into treatment, could not be saved despite all the efforts of the doctors. Elif Mavi was buried amidst the tears of her relatives. The moment of the accident was captured on a workplace security camera. The footage showed the moment when the car hit Elif Mavi, who was crossing the road with her mother, and Merve Avli, who was shocked by the accident, screamed.
The driver of the car, Fatoş Kilit Bilgesoy, who was detained by the police after the accident, was sent to the courthouse after his procedures at the police station. Bilgesoy, who was taken to court, was given a judicial control order "not to leave the house" for the crime of "causing death by negligence".
The prosecutor's office and Avli family objected to the house arrest decision. In the objection, camera footage, traffic accident report, death examination report, expert report and other evidence in the file were evaluated together and it was stated that judicial control measures would be insufficient and the suspect should be arrested. Eskişehir Criminal Court of First Instance accepted the objection of the Eskişehir Chief Public Prosecutor's Office on the grounds that there was concrete evidence in the file indicating a strong suspicion of crime and that the judicial control provisions would be insufficient.
ARRESTED
While the house arrest order for the car driver Bilgesoy was lifted, a warrant was issued for his arrest. Fatoş Kilit Bilgesoy, who was detained by Eskişehir Police Department teams, was brought to the courthouse after the procedures and taken to the Criminal Judgeship of Peace. Bilgesoy, whose statement was taken again, was arrested this time and sent to prison.
THEY VISITED THEIR DAUGHTERS IN THE CEMETERY
