A tense courtroom scene unfolded as the trial continued over the death of Ayşe Tokyaz. Seven detained defendants were brought to the hearing from prisons in Silivri, Tekirdağ, and Edirne.
The session grew emotional when Esra Tokyaz, the victim's identical twin sister, directly addressed one suspect, Cemil K.
"I want to speak as Ayşe," Esra Tokyaz stated to the court. Turning to the defendant, she said, "You see me, don't you? May God make you pay for this."
The case continues.
