Two murders took place in Istanbul within a three‑hour span, sending shock through the city. In the first incident, a 22‑year‑old named Mehmet Emin Yüksel killed 26‑year‑old Yasin Binarci inside a residence in the Büyükçekmece district. Hours later, Yüksel was found shot dead with a firearm in the Bağcılar area. Investigators determined that the entrance of the Büyükçekmece building had been forced open with a sledgehammer to enable the suspects to flee. The perpetrator of the second killing is believed to have changed clothes and escaped using a hand‑cart to avoid recognition. Police from the Crime Bureau tracked the case from Istanbul to Edirne, arresting eight suspects during the operation. All arrested individuals have been transferred to the court for prosecution.
