Kahramanmaraş school shooting trial

Overview

Legal proceedings have commenced regarding the mass shooting at Ayser Çalık Middle School in Kahramanmaraş, an incident that occurred on April 15, 2026, and resulted in the deaths of nine students and one teacher, with 15 others injured.

The trial focuses on the parents of the 14-year-old perpetrator, İsa Aras Mersinli. The father, Uğur Mersinli, a police chief inspector, is in custody facing charges including “murder with probable intent” and “violation of Law No. 6136.” He has argued that his son stole weapons from him without his knowledge.

The mother, Peyman Pınar Mersinli, a teacher, faces charges of “causing death and injury through conscious negligence.” Although the court initially ordered her release during the first hearing, she was subsequently re-arrested in the Osmaniye region following an objection by the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office regarding the state of evidence.

Government officials, including members of a parliamentary commission, have indicated that the judicial process is being closely monitored by the state.
