The mass was hindered by police on the way to Koşuyolu Park in Bağlar district where they Şerdil and Şiyar were murdered, both shot by a bullet in the head.

While police urged the delivery of the bodies directly to Yeniköy Cemetery, people insisted on holding a ceremony at Koşuyolu Park, and closed the road to traffic.
