“I CUT THE LANGUAGE OF AĞLARSAN”
In his defense at the hearing, İbrahim D. stated that he worked at the same place with his father and that they left work together and went home on the day of the incident.
Stating that his father left, saying that he had a job later, İbrahim D. said:
* When I got home, my mother said that my brother was sick and we left the house to go to the hospital.
* We met with my father on the way. We got in the car together. My father was nervous on the road and said ‘go home’.
* My father came home after us and started to argue with my mother. My father punched my mother in the head.
* My mother started crying over this. The more my mother cried, the more my dad got angry and kept hitting.
* At that time, my brothers started to cry too and my father grabbed my mother by the throat and threw it to the ground.
* My mother seemed unconscious. My father took a knife out of his pocket and said, ‘I’ll cut your tongue if you cry.
* While my mother was trying to grab the knife, her hand was amputated.
“DAYANAMADIM”
Stating that he was trying to calm his father, İbrahim D. continued his words as follows:
* My father said, ‘I will kill you and your brothers and sisters, don’t get involved.
* I withdrew, but my father tried to strangle my mother this time. My mother’s face turned red.
* When I saw that he could not breathe, I could not stand it and I took the knife my father left on the sofa and stabbed it twice.
* My father left my mother. Then I got very scared and called my brother. My brother told me he would call the police and I shouldn’t be afraid.
* My father used to fight with my mother at home all the time. He used to beat me, my brothers and my mother.
He said “I WILL CUT”
The spouse of the deceased, İkinci D., said:
* His children were constantly beating me as well. On the day of the incident, he was hit first and then, with the knife in his hand, he tried to pull my tongue out of my mouth and said ‘I will cut your tongue’.
* He brought the knife close to my mouth, so I covered my mouth with my hand to protect myself, cut my hand. I did not see the moment of the incident, I was overwhelmed.
* My wife hurt me 9 years ago when I was pregnant, and my baby fell.
