In late July 2026, 32‑year‑old mother of two Buse Taşer was found shot dead in her Nilüfer home. Police detained her boyfriend, who possessed the weapon, and launched a forensic inquiry to determine whether the death was a homicide or suicide.

In early August 2026, 35‑year‑old Sudanese woman Ekram Hassan, eight months pregnant, fell from a fourth‑floor balcony in Nilüfer during the night of 2–3 August while attempting to reach an opposite balcony amid a domestic dispute. She died at the scene; her husband, Ferdi S., was taken into custody on a charge of encouraging suicide. Neighbours reported hearing the argument, and investigators are also probing earlier allegations that the husband had endangered their three‑year‑old child. The woman's body was transferred to the Bursa Forensic Medicine Institute on 2 August, and officials confirmed the fall occurred from a fourth‑floor balcony, refining earlier reports. An autopsy is pending to clarify the exact cause of death.

Both incidents remain under active investigation by the Bursa Police Department, the Bursa Forensic Medicine Institute, and the public prosecutor’s office, with suspects detained and forensic examinations ongoing. No further developments have been reported as of the latest updates.
