SECURITY CAMERA FOOTAGE HELD FROM LAWYERS

 

In the footage revealed by Dedeoğulları on one of the cameras installed in their house for security reasons, the aggressor Altun murders 7 members of the family that he brought together at gunpoint in the garden of the house. The family lawyer has not yet been informed by the prosecutor's office about the resolution of the other two camera recordings in the house. The video recordings were not shown to the lawyers who met with the Konya Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. Only the details of the analysis made by the prosecutor's office were shared with the lawyers.

 

Pointing out that the attacker has not been caught for days is an indication that the attack was planned and organized, family lawyer Abdurrahman Karabulut said, adding, “The killer or people who cooperated with the killer organized this massacre. They planned how to escape after the massacre, how to get rid of HTS recordings and phone signals, and someone masterfully directed it. Otherwise, in cases of spontaneous murder or other crimes by the police, the perpetrators are caught in a very short time after the crime. It is also an indication that there is someone directing and that there are professional people among those who plan.”
