AI-generated summary
The case regarding Güllü's suspicious death started to be heard at Yalova 1st High Criminal Court.
Güllü's brother Kader Tut's lawyers included the following in the report they submitted regarding the camera footage from the night of the incident:
"It turns out that while Güllü was entering the sink, Tuğyan said to Sultan, 'Shh, shush, let's open Malkata and play like that,' and after Güllü got out of the sink, he called out, 'Open, open, open.' The defendant acted together with the Sultan here. Sultan should be the defendant, not a witness. Sultan tells the truth in his statement, but he says it incompletely. We want the defendant to be punished for the crime of 'deliberately planning murder against the upper line', and Sultan too. We demand that he be tried.”
It was seen that Tuğyan Ülkem Gülter could not hold back her tears during the hearing.
“HE WAS WALKING BY HOLDING ON TO THE WALLS”
Tuğyan Ülkem Gülter's lawyers responded to the relevant claim as follows:
"If you look at the videos, it is seen that Güllü was walking holding the walls, that he was not wearing glasses while drinking alcohol, and that he was not wearing glasses at the time of the incident. Even though there is no lubricant on the floor, the floor itself is a slippery substance."
“IF I SAW IT FALLING, I WOULD CATCH IT”
After the court's break, Gülter took the defendant's stand and started his defense.
Rejecting the accusations made against her, Gülter claimed that she did not see her mother fall and said, "If I had seen it, I would have held it. Even though there is an argument between every mother and daughter, I lost my friend on whom I leaned on." he said.
While continuing her testimony, Gülter cried and said, "I don't understand why the Sultan slandered me. I was always with the Sultan, we were always side by side. I think he testified out of fear." he said.
“I BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN Slandered”
Gülter claimed that his name was mentioned in the public as a "mother murderer" and that it was stated that he had his hair dyed because of his mother, and continued as follows:
"You cannot even imagine how heavy it is. I believe that I have been slandered. It is not enough to silence one's own conscience. I believe in divine justice. In the afterlife, my mother and I will be held accountable. They stained my mother. I do not want my daughter to live with this stain."
In the case heard at Yalova 1st High Criminal Court, Tuğyan Ülkem Gülter, daughter of Güllü, who is also the number one defendant, made her defense before the judge. While Gülter denied the accusations against him, he could not hold back his tears at times.
Gülter, who said that he wanted to tell about his experiences for about 10 months in his defense, stated that a lot of information about his private life and himself was shared on social media and said, "I am under a very serious accusation. I do not accept this accusation. I am very disturbed by the shares." he said.
“MY MOTHER OPENED WINE, WE LISTENED TO MUSIC TOGETHER”
Gülter also explained in detail what happened on the day of the incident in court. Stating that his mother opened wine and they spent time together, Gülter said:
"My mother opened wine, we started drinking wine. My mother sang, we watched the clips together. We got up and played in the living room, making a fuss. I went to the toilet once. Then we went to the room."
Gülter stated that Sultan Nur Ulu was also with them, and that when they went into the room, she braided Sultan's hair, and then they played together with music.
Explaining that his mother was listening to music in another room for a while, Gülter said, "I called my mother, but she did not answer. I called, 'Mom, turn the music down. Normally, we can call each other from room to room." he said.
"ONCE I LOOKED, MY MOTHER WAS NOT HERE"
Gülter stated that her mother came to them later and described the moment of the incident with the following words: "My mother entered and played with me. We also played with the Sultan. The Sultan was looking in the mirror, I was next to him. Then we heard a loud noise. When I looked, my mother was not there. I shouted at the Sultan. Then we ran downstairs together."
Emphasizing that he did not see the moment his mother fell from the window, Gülter said, "My back was turned. She fell from the window. I did not see how she fell." he said.
It was claimed that Güllü was swearing at her daughter Tuğyan in some of the images that emerged during the investigation. Gülter stated that he and his mother Güllü joked from time to time and said, "He said the swear words at that moment not with anger, but with a laugh." he said.
Gülter, who also rejected the claim that Malkata opened the door deliberately to bring Güllü into the room, said, "If we are happy, we listen to this song. We listened to that song in the living room too." expressed his claim.
Claiming that her mother was drunk at the time of the incident, Gülter also explained that Güllü was afraid of heights.
“HE HOLD GÜLLÜ BY HER HIPS AND THROW HER DOWN”
Sultan Nur Ulu, who was at home during the incident, was defended. Ulu, who testified as a witness of the incident, said that Tuğyan Ülkem Gülter grabbed Güllü's hip and threw her down. "His face was turned, I saw him throw it out the window. Then he shouted to run. I was in shock and ran downstairs after him," he said.
Ulu stated that he was afraid that Tuğyan would harm himself and said, "On the day of the funeral, he said, 'If I burn, I will burn you too.'"
Sultan Nur Ulu, who claimed in her first statement that Güllü had fallen, explained why she later changed her statement with the following words:
"I told my lawyer before I was taken into custody. I said I couldn't stand it. When I was taken into custody, I said I couldn't stand it."
