Armored vehicle driven by policemen patrolling in Karşıyaka neighborhood in Şırnak's Silopi district crashed into a home at around 23:30 last night.

7 years old Muhammed Yıldırım and his 6-year-old brother Furkan, both of whom were sleeping at home, got seriously injured as result of the crash, after which policemen left the armored vehicle at the scene and fled.

The incident was followed by police inspection at spot, and quarrel erupted between police and neighborhood residents who responded to the police for the incident. While police assaulted three people during the following brawl, eyewitnesses claimed that the policemen who drove the armored vehicle into the house and then fled were drunk.

Residents rushed the two kids to Silopi Public Hospital where both of them lost their lives despite all the medical efforts. The brothers were buried at Karşıyaka Cemetery this morning.

In the meantime, Governor of Şırnak Ali İhsan Su described the murder as "destiny" during his visit for condolence.

It was not immediately clear if an investigation has been launched against the policemen responsible for the death of two little brothers.
