Sisters kill bartender in İzmir

İZMİR

Two sisters in Turkey’s western province of İzmir have surrendered to police and confessed to killing the boyfriend of one of them.

The sisters, identified only by the initials H.D. and G.D., killed H.D.’s 33-year-old bartender boyfriend Ferit Demir on March 4, before surrendering to police the following day.

Demir had been living with the 19-year-old H.D. and the two had been working together at the same place for three months before G.D. also began to live with them. On March 4, the sisters decided to move out of Demir’s house but Demir objected and they began to argue. After the argument escalated, H.D. allegedly took Demir’s gun and shot him.

After the incident, the sisters left the house and spent the night elsewhere. Later in the afternoon on March 5, they went to the police station located in the Bayraklı district of İzmir and surrendered with the murder weapon. According to H.D.’s testimony, police went to the crime scene and found Demir’s body. The sisters have been taken into custody and a prosecutor has launched an investigation into the incident.
