The investigation carried out regarding the murder of Veysi Çevik with a long-barreled gun in Sur district Bağpınar District Üçyol location, on the land next to the Diyarbakır-Bingöl highway on August 29, 2015, was revisited in 2026.
Within the scope of the investigation, a special team consisting of Provincial Gendarmerie Command Gendarmerie Crime Investigation Teams (JASAT), Criminal Branch and Intelligence Branch directorates and District Gendarmerie Command personnel carried out the work.
In the studies, technical data obtained by JABS, PARS, Detective, PTS, HTS, I2 and narrowed base analysis were examined and testimony minutes were evaluated.
In line with the investigation reports regarding the findings obtained from the scene, Mehmet, Sedat, Mustafa, Aydın, Rauf and Mahmut K. from the same family were identified.
The 6 suspects taken into custody were arrested on January 19 and sent to Diyarbakır Closed Penal Institution.
A lawsuit was filed against the defendants at Diyarbakır 7th High Criminal Court, demanding aggravated life imprisonment and imprisonment from 1 to 3 years for the crimes of "premeditated murder" and "purchasing, carrying or possessing unlicensed firearms and bullets".
At the first hearing of the case on June 8, the court ruled that Rauf K. and Mahmut K., who were determined to be in their villages according to HTS records, be released pending trial.
Veysi Çevik's mother, Kini Çevik, party lawyers, witnesses and detained and undetained defendants attended the second hearing of the case.
Kini Çevik said that he was not at the scene when his son died and that his complaint against the defendants was ongoing.
Witness Sıdıka K., who stated in her statement accompanied by a lawyer during the investigation phase that the murder was caused by rumors of a relationship between herself and Veysi, changed her statement at the hearing.
Sıdıka K., who was connected to the hearing via SEGBİS, stated that they gave untrue statements about the defendants, three of whom were her husband Seyhan K.'s older brothers, due to a money dispute arising from the sale of land, and said, "We sold our lands and went to Izmir because we could not make a living in the village. However, their brothers deceived my husband and did not pay the money after receiving the title deed. That is why there were arguments and fights. After we moved to Izmir, when they realized that they would not pay our money, they got scared and made them pay this perpetrator." "We made statements by making it seem like it was related to an unknown murder. We could not predict that it would come to this extent. I still complain about them because they did not pay for the fields we sold."
Seyhan K., on the other hand, confirmed his wife's statements and admitted that they made a fiction by taking advantage of the current situation to get the land money and said, "I still want my money. We have a complaint about that issue, but I do not think that the defendants in this incident committed this crime."
Mevlüt M., the witness heard at the hearing, stated that he was the first person to go to the scene and said, "I have a facility on the road. The scene of the incident is not visible from where we are, but the sound can be heard. I also heard gunshots. Since it was close to our village, I went to the scene thinking that there was an incident between my uncle and others. The tractor had rolled into the ditch. I saw Veysi lying on the ground in the field 400 meters away. It was obvious that he had passed away. At that time, the police station and "I called 112. When I went to the scene, there was no one there. Veysi was my uncle's driver. I don't know anything else."
Witness Abdurrahman Y. stated that two masked people chased Veysi during the incident and one person was waiting in the vehicle on the side of the road, and said, "I have testified twice before. It has been a long time since the incident. I repeat the statement I gave then. Although I don't remember exactly, I saw 3 people. Their faces were masked. They were driving. One of them had a long-barreled gun in his hand. I don't remember exactly, but it seems like one of them was in the car. I was carrying lube oil in my truck. 80 kilometers." "I could see people wearing masks because I was going fast," he said.
The public prosecutor requested the defendants' continued detention.
Mahir Akbilek, one of the defendant's lawyers, requested that his client's detention status be re-evaluated and said, "My client's detention should be reviewed. The couple Seyhan and Sıdıka K. have admitted why they made criminal charges against the defendants. The victim's mother and her husband still do not know who the real perpetrator or perpetrators are. The analysis report and the narrowed base report in the file mislead the court. A warrant was written to TÜBİTAK "We demand the report to be audited. Although it is important to shed light on unsolved murders, it would be unfair to punish unrelated people when there is not enough evidence."
The presiding judge postponed the hearing to December 15 for the public prosecutor to present his opinion on the merits, if any, and for the public prosecutor to present his opinion on the merits, and to forcibly bring a witness who did not attend the hearing and take his statement.
