Dorukhan Büyükışık death investigation

Overview

An investigation into the 2018 death of Dorukhan Büyükışık has led to ongoing legal proceedings in İzmir. Originally recorded as a suicide at a construction site, the case was reopened by the İzmir Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office.

The merged trial addresses two tracks: intentional homicide involving construction workers and security guards, and misconduct in office by several police officers. A coordinated operation across nine provinces resulted in the detention of 25 suspects, including construction company owners and former police officials. The father of the deceased, retired Major General Ethem Büyükışık, has called for a swift resolution, alleging that forensic reports were falsified.
