Gülistan Doku investigation | The footage from the cameras on the upper floor of the cafe where he works is not in the file.

In the investigation into the disappearance of Gülistan Doku, a second-year student at the Department of Child Development at Munzur University, on January 5, 2020, new details emerged regarding the security cameras of the cafe where she worked.

It was stated that the security camera footage of Doku's arrival and departure from the cafe on the ground floor of the building where her ex-boyfriend Zeinal Abakarov and his family lived on January 4, 2020, the day before she disappeared, was included in the investigation file, but the records of the internal parts of the business and the upper floor where she worked were not in the file.

'I REPORTED THE CAMERAS ON THE UPSTAIRS TO THE POLICE'

Her colleague, who worked at the cafe at the same time as Gülistan Doku, stated in her statement taken by the gendarmerie after the investigation was reconsidered that Doku worked as the upstairs manager of the business and that her work area was the upstairs of the cafe.

The owner of the cafe at the time of the incident also stated in his statement taken as a witness by the gendarmerie that there were approximately 15 security cameras at different points of the business and that there were cameras on the upper floor.

The business owner said that he reported the cameras upstairs to the police in the first period of the investigation, but he did not know whether the records in question were taken or not.

In his statement taken after the investigation was reconsidered, the owner of the company that installed the security camera system of the cafe stated that they had installed approximately 15 security cameras in the business, including the upper floor, at the time of the incident.
