The trial of the death of artist Gül Tut, known as Güllü, who died suspiciously after falling from the window of her sixth-floor house in Yalova, has begun.
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.
“I AM UNDER VERY HEAVY ACCUSATION”
Gülter, who said that he wanted to tell about his experiences for about 10 months, 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.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE COURT ASKED: “Did you see him touching anything?”
The Presiding Judge asked, "Did you see him touching anything?" Gülter answered the question, "I did not see it."
When asked whether his mother drank alcohol on the day of the incident, Gülter said, "It's true." To the Presiding Judge's question about whether there was any wetness on the ground, Gülter answered, "I did not notice."
When asked if there were any items in front of the window, Gülter said, "There is a drawer by my bedside." he said.
I WAS ALSO ASKED ABOUT THE MESSAGE "MY MOTHER IS SHOOTING HERSELF"
The complainant's attorney, Lawyer Merve Uçanok, also asked Gülter who was with him when he went to Şişli for voice analysis. Gülter said, "There was sister Çiğdem. I was driving the vehicle." he replied.
Uçanok then reminded Gülter of the message he sent to Kervan Eminoğlu, saying "My mother is going to throw herself away soon" and asked for his explanation.
Gülter argued that the message was written as a joke and said, "I got a tattoo. Kervan wrote, "Didn't your bone hurt? It was beautiful." I showed it to my mother. He said, 'You had my tattoo written on your ankle, did you have it written on his ankle?' I said this to Kervan as a joke. "I had no ulterior motives," he said.
WAS THE SONG OF MALKATA INTENTIONALLY OPENED?
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.
A DISCUSSION EMERGED AT THE HEARING
Gülter denied the accusations against him. An argument broke out during Gülter's defense at the hearing. The court adjourned the case due to an argument. During the hearing, Gülter claimed that he was sedated after the incident and claimed that he did not remember the statement he gave.
Gülter: "Did you agree with someone for money to kill your mother?" "Such a thing never happened. Osman went to the police station and complained because he was afraid of Ferdi. Then they came together and made this statement." brought up his claim.
