Amed– On September 13, 2021, 21-year-old Gurbet Fida was shot to death by her husband Ali Fida in the Fis (Ziyaret) neighborhood of Amed’s Lice district. Ali Fida reportedly confessed that he had shot and killed Gurbet Fida and he was arrested. According to the preliminary autopsy done on the body of Gurbet Fida, there were bruises and wounds on her body.

She was forcibly held in the house before being killed

According to some received reports, Gurbet Fida, who was married off at the age of 17 and had a child, packed up on the day she was killed. Some claim that Gurbet Fida was forcibly held in her house before being killed, the findings of violence in the preliminary autopsy support these claims. Ali Fida, who killed Gurbet Fida with his hunting rifle, claims that the incident was an accident.

Lawyers: There are findings revealing the murder

The lawyers, who examined the case, spoke to NuJINHA and told us, “Gurbet Fida was married off at the age of 17 and she had a child. She was killed on September 23 when she was 21 years old. Gurbet Fida previously asked for a divorce. She tried to leave her house many times and she was forcibly brought back. According to information, when she tried to leave the house the last time, she was forcibly brought home and held in the house for 15 days, and then she was killed. There is concrete evidence supporting the claims. For instance, the result of the preliminary autopsy shows that she was forcibly held in the house. And all people testified that Gurbet Fida attempted to leave her house many times and that she tried to leave the house on the day she was killed. There is some question about her last attempt and how she was brought to home again.”

The lawyers also examined the investigation file and they determined many deficiencies in the file. “For instance, the prosecution office didn’t investigate how the bruises and wounds on her body had occurred. And the office didn’t investigate how many times Gurbet Fida had tried to leave the house and how she had been brought to the house again. The file only indicates that Ali Fida and Gurbet Fida discussed and Gurbet Fida was killed by accident.”

“Despite all findings, the perpetrator’s statement was found adequate”

The lawyers say the incident was not an accident but murder. “The perpetrator claims that he killed Gurbet Fida by accident. Despite all findings, his statement was found adequate. There is no investigation against those involved in this crime. The case should be investigated in detail to identify those involved in this crime.”
