Turkish criminal court proceedings

Overview

Recent judicial developments in Turkey involve various sentencing and indictment processes for violent crimes.

In Kırıkkale, a high criminal court issued sentences for the May 2025 murder of Arap Sefa Türe following a dispute. T. O. D. and his son, İ. D., were each sentenced to 15 years for intentional murder, with additional terms for wounding and weapon possession. In a separate Kilis case, the Court of Cassation upheld a 15-year sentence for Mahmut Muhammet Özyer, who was convicted of causing death through intentional wounding during an assault on his wife in 2021.

In Sakarya, prosecutors have filed a lawsuit regarding the July death of 14-year-old Murat İmrağ. An indictment seeks a prison sentence of 19 to 27 years for 16-year-old Y. D. S. on charges of premeditated murder against a child. The prosecution alleges the shooting was not accidental, citing the suspect’s actions following the incident and evidence found on his phone. The owner of the licensed firearm, F. K., also faces potential imprisonment for up to 6 years for causing death through negligence.
