HDP killer suspect arrested
The culprit of the massacre in Kozluca (Xanike) village, located in Sirnak, was arrested. The detained father was released whilst his son was arrested. In father's detainment he confessed in his statement that he is the instigator of the massacre and it makes no sense that he is now released.
HDP’s used the general elections as an excuse to visit Xanike where they carried out PKK propaganda. As a result of this Muhammed Serif Simsek and Abdulcelil Talayhan were killed. Their suspect Sedat Teber was arrested by a court decision.
15-20 minutes after the incident in Xanike, Nezir Teber and Sedat Teber were arrested and sent to court. After the demand of arrest, Sedat Teber was arrested and Nezir Teber was released on bail. Sedat Teber has been sent to Midyat Prison.
Simsek’s and Talayhan’s suspect Sedat Teber said that he fired 7 times with a kalesnikoff gun and witnessed someone fall down, when he was giving his statement as a detainee. M.D as one of the eyewitnesses stated that he clearly saw Sedat Teber directly aiming to shoot Abdulcelil Talayhan.
At the time of the incident, Sedat Teber stated that him and his father went to their house, locked the doors and rang the police. The police had arrived 15 minutes after the phone call and arrested both the father and son as Teber claims. Teber also stated that he gave the kalesnikoff gun to the police officers, which he had used during the incident.
S.S, witness of the incident stated that Sedat Teber’s father Nezir Teber is the instigator of the incident because just before the massacre Nezir said “Son go home and bring my gun.” S.S also said “We pulled back when we heard these words. As we walked 100 metres away from the scene of the incident we heard the gunfire one after the other. We then heard Abdulcelil Talayhan was shot.”
Despite the statements given to the police, Nezir Teber was still released on bail. (ILKHA)
