Hiranur case all over again

The trial process is starting again in the case of the death of 16-year-old Hiranur Nilgün Aygar, who was shot in the head with a gun in a parked car in Mersin on August 31, 2025.

According to the news in İHA, in the case heard in Mersin 5th High Criminal Court, the defendant H.A.Ş. was sentenced to life imprisonment for 'killing a child with possible intent' and 2 years in prison for possession of an unlicensed weapon.

Other defendants N.Ç. and M.Z. He was released after being sentenced to 4 months in prison for 'destroying, concealing or altering criminal evidence'.

After the family objected to the decision and appealed the file, the Adana Regional Court of Justice suspended the local court's decision and decided to conduct the trial itself.

The first hearing of the case, which will be reconsidered at the 18th Criminal Chamber Adana Regional Court of Justice, will be held today. Father Murat Aygar, who does not accept the penalties given for his daughter's death, continues his fight for justice.

Aygar, who wanted the two defendants who were released after being sentenced to 4 months in prison in the first trial to receive the heaviest punishment, reacted to the defendants' walking free.

Explaining the process they went through after his daughter's death, father Murat Aygar explained what happened on the day of the incident and said, "In August 2025, my daughter Hiranur Nilgün Aygar was shot in the head and murdered by her boyfriend and two people in a vehicle. After she was murdered, these three people threw my daughter into a stream here. Then they were caught."

Stating that they do not accept the sentences given in the case heard in the local court, Aygar said, regarding the trial process, "The trial started in the Mersin local court. It lasted about 5 hearings. At the end of the 5 hearings, H.A.Ş., who pulled the gun, received only a life sentence, while the two people on the other side got away with a 4-month sentence."

Stating that they objected to the decision of the local court and took the file to a higher court, Aygar said, "We did not accept these sentences and took the case to a higher court, to the appeal. He reviewed the appeal. He seized the file for the retrial of the file and for the appeal itself to judge it. This Monday, our daughter has her first hearing."

Father Aygar, who wanted all 3 defendants to receive the heaviest punishment before the hearing to be held today, reacted to the release of the 2 defendants who were released and said, "I want all three of them to receive the heaviest punishment, including H.A.Ş. who pulled the trigger. Those two people are currently free and walking freely. Maybe they are in danger of escaping, they may escape."
