Murder of Prof. Ayşe Olcay Tiryaki
Medical professor and academic Ayşe Olcay Tiryaki was found dead at her home in Bilkent, Ankara, on 24 March 2008. The investigation turned to a family member who lived with her. The defendant changed her statements during the trial; a forensic report found her mentally competent. In December 2008 the High Criminal Court in Ankara imposed aggravated life imprisonment and, with a reduction for good conduct, converted it to life imprisonment. The killing caused great sorrow in academic circles and among the public.
