On 2 November 2009, a 26-year-old mother of two went missing in the Akçaabat district of Trabzon; five days later her body was found on the Vakfıkebir shore, showing signs of assault. In the first trial the defendants were acquitted for lack of evidence, but the file was reopened years later. The Trabzon 1st Heavy Penal Court sentenced the father-in-law and his wife to life imprisonment for "premeditated intentional killing," and sentenced the brother-in-law to 20 years in prison.
