Turkish Singer Gül Tut murder case – sentencing

Entities: Sultan Nur Ulu · Yalova Cumhuriyet Başsavcılığı · Yalova · Tuğyan Ülkem Gülter · Gül Tut

Overview

Investigators confirmed that Turkish singer Gül Tut died on 26 September 2025 after falling from a sixth‑floor window in her Çınarcık, Yalova apartment. The 18.17‑metre fall caused fatal head and spine fractures, internal organ damage and massive internal bleeding. Toxicology showed a blood‑alcohol level of 3.53 ‰ with no drugs or poison detected.

The Yalova Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office concluded the death was not accidental and, after a ten‑ to eleven‑month investigation, filed a 21‑page indictment. The indictment accuses the singer’s daughter, Tuğyan Ülkem Gülter, of pre‑meditated murder, alleging she lured her mother with the folk song “Malkata,” recorded a voice saying “Hadi görüşürüz,” then grabbed her hips, cut her feet and pushed her out the window. Prosecutors are seeking an aggravated life‑sentence under Article 82.

Evidence cited includes the autopsy report, forensic analysis showing no slippery chemicals on the floor, WhatsApp messages, security‑camera footage, phone records, a 112 emergency call, and a detailed witness statement describing the night’s events, music and physical contact. Istanbul Technical University’s forensic team confirmed the recorded remark and ruled out poisoning. The housemate, Sultan Nur Ulu, faces a charge of false testimony and a potential four‑year prison term.

The prosecution’s request for an aggravated life‑imprisonment reflects the indictment’s charge of “designing murder of a close relative.”
