The first details of the autopsy report on the bodies of Sakine Cansýz, Fidan Doðan and Leyla Þaylemez are coming through. It is understood that the autopsy put the death of the three Kurdish women between 6 and 7pm on Wednesday 9 January. The autopsy also confirmed that the three women were hit in the head by more than one bullet.

“One of them was hit by four bullets on the head, and two others were hit by three bullets each”, said a judicial source speaking to French channel TF1.

According to report by  TF1, 9 bullet casings and three cartridge bullets were found during the examinations started at the scene after the discovery of bodies of three Kurdish activists. The bullets are said to have been fired from a 7.65 mm caliber pistol. The number of pistols used in the bloody attack is expected to become clear after the announcement of a ballistic investigation into the incident.

No one has claimed responsibility or been arrested for the attack so far. A witness who reportedly heard consecutive gunshots from the scene on Wednesday afternoon has born testimony to French authorities, according to initial reports received on the ongoing investigation.
