Key evidence cited in the conviction included a voice recording where a voice identified as Gülter’s said, ‘Hadi görüşürüz’ (Let’s see each other/Bye) shortly before upheld the ~~fall. Prosecutors also presented messages sent by Gülter expressing hostility, such as ‘When will she die?’ and ‘Let~~ aggravated life imprisonment sentence for her ~~die.’ The court rejected defense arguments that~~ daughter, Tuğyan Ülkem Gülter, for the ~~death was an accident caused by~~ crime of ‘intentionally killing a ~~slippery floor or alcohol influence.

The ~~legal process may continue through appeal~~ 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 ~~Supreme Court stages.~~ 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.
