Legal developments in the death of singer Güllü
Overview
The Yalova 1st High Criminal Court has released a 25-page reasoned decision regarding the death of singer Gül Tut, known as ‘Güllü’. The court upheld the aggravated life imprisonment sentence for her daughter, Tuğyan Ülkem Gülter, for the crime of ‘intentionally killing a woman and an ascendant.’
The ruling relied heavily on the sworn testimony of Sultan Nur Ulu, the sole eyewitness. Ulu testified that she saw Gülter grab her mother from behind by the upper thigh and throw her out of the window. The court noted that while Ulu’s initial statements differed, she had previously been too afraid of the defendant to tell the truth. Security footage confirmed no other individuals entered the residence, and forensic reports found no traces of slippery substances near the window, contradicting defense claims of an accidental fall. While the court found the killing intentional, it ruled that evidence did not sufficiently prove premeditation.
In a new development, lawyers representing the sister of the deceased have filed a criminal complaint against Tuğberk Yağız Gülter, the singer’s son. He is accused of destroying or tampering with digital evidence. The complaint alleges that a flash drive containing security recordings was delivered to authorities weeks late and claims Gülter used artificial intelligence to inquire if video audio could be detected as tampered with. Investigators are also examining claims regarding non-functional cameras and a signal sent from the phone of Gülter’s fiancé on the morning of the death.
