Şimşek family members kill two people in Suruç

The Şimşek family, relatives of AKP Deputy Ibrahim Halil Yıldız, who took part in the attack against Şenyaşar family, killed 2 people on Wednesday over futile motives.

On 8 November, a fight broke out between the Şimşek and Altay families in the Suruç district of Urfa over "parking". Members of the Şimşek Family then attacked the Altay family's house in the neighbourhood of Şevra with guns. Cousins Cihan and Mehmet Kayhan and Ibrahim Altay, who were injured in the attack, were taken to Suruç State Hospital by ambulances sent to the region. Cihan and Mehmet Kayhan lost their lives. Altay's treatment continues.

It was learned that the guns used in the attack belonged to the village guards. Some people were taken into custody.

The Şimşek family, which carried out the attack on the Altay family, was among those who organized the attack on the Şenyaşar family together with the relatives and bodyguards of AKP Deputy Ibrahim Halil Yıldız on 14 June 2018.
