It was determined that 22-year-old Osman Altun, who killed jeweler Zahir Cız with a gun in Seyhan district of Adana and injured Hüseyin Altunbulduk, who was with him, was tried to be smuggled abroad after the murder.
Within the scope of the investigation, it was determined that preparations were made for Altun to be transported to a boat off the Aegean Sea by jet ski and smuggled to Greece.
It was claimed that the 'Bayğaralar' criminal organization promised Altun, who has a 18-year prison sentence, to be smuggled abroad in exchange for committing the murder. 10 suspects connected to the incident were arrested.
HE SHOT THE JEWELER IN FRONT OF HIS WORKPLACE
The incident took place on October 4 at around 14:00 in Reşatbey District of Seyhan district. Jeweler Zahir Cız was attacked while sitting in front of his workplace with his acquaintance Hüseyin Altunbulduk. While 66-year-old Cız, who was shot in the head, lost his life, Altunbulduk, who was injured in the abdomen, was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
Adana Police Department Public Order Branch Directorate Homicide Bureau teams started working after the murder and determined the identity of the attacker by examining the security camera footage in the area. It was determined that the suspect was Osman Altun, who was released on probation a while ago after being arrested for "deliberate injury", "theft" and "damage to property".
It was determined that Altun had scouted the area before the attack and watched Cız for a while, and then carried out the armed attack.
ALLEGED ORGANIZATION BEHIND THE MURDER
During the investigation, it was also revealed that Zahir Cız placed an armored vehicle in front of the apartment building where the attack took place and that he had not left the building for a while.
Cız, who is said to be close to the 'Smurfs' group, was killed by F.Ç., one of the ringleaders of the 'Bayğaralar' criminal organization, about two years ago. It was learned that he talked to him on the phone and was threatened during this conversation. Based on this information, the teams deepened the investigation and determined that Osman Altun was sentenced to 18 years of imprisonment within the scope of the cases in which he was tried.
The police found that the 'Bayğaralar' criminal organization promised Altun that he would be smuggled abroad in exchange for killing the jeweler. These allegations were reflected in the investigation file.
