Scandalous image at the elderly care center in Istanbul! 'I did it to calm your nerves'

The investigation into the allegations that Gülay Tanrıyeri (77) and Gülmi Kordere (79) were subjected to violence and injured by the staff at an Alzheimer's and dementia care center in Beylikdüzü on May 8 has been completed. In the indictment prepared by Büyükçekmece Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, Tanrıyeri and Kordere were listed as 'victims', and Banu Z. (27) and Sudenaz M. (22) were listed as 'suspects'.

In the indictment, it was noted that the victims were living in a nursing home and the suspects were working in a nursing home. In the indictment, it was stated that on April 27, 2026, suspect Sudenaz M. pushed the victim Gülay Tanrıyeri, causing an injury that could not be relieved with simple medical intervention. It was noted that there was footage of the suspect Banu Z. spitting on the victim Gülmi Kordere.

Suspect Banu Z.'s statement to the prosecutor's office was also included in the indictment. Banu Z. said, "The victim was spitting at me. I pretended to spit at her, but I did not spit. I watched the footage on social media. I took these actions to calm the nerves of the patient named Gülmi and entertain her. I do not accept the accusation made against me."

Sudenez M., in his statement to the prosecutor's office, said, "I warned the patient Gülay Tanrıyeri because she was infected with other patients. I gently pushed her to sit down. The victim lost her balance and fell. I called the employee of the institution and we took Tanrıyeri to the hospital. I am extremely sorry for this situation."

In the indictment, it was emphasized that both victims were referred to the Hospice Special Care Center after the incident, that their statements could not be taken because the victims did not remember the incident due to their illness, and that it was understood that the suspects committed the crime charged against them.

The indictment, requesting imprisonment of suspect Banu Z. from 3 to 8 years for the crime of 'tormenting a person who is mentally unable to defend himself', and suspect Sudenez M. from 2 years to 3 years and 6 months for the crime of 'deliberate injury by abusing the influence of a public official', was sent to Büyükçekmece 18th Criminal Court of First Instance for evaluation.
