A dispute between a tenant and landlords in Istanbul’s Maltepe district culminated in a deadly shooting. The homeowners were killed at the scene, and their lawyer was severely injured. The tenant, identified as Mehmet T., has given a statement to the police regarding the incident. Mehmet T. claims he had an agreement to purchase the building, where he had been renting for 30 years, but a dispute arose over reimbursement for $350,000 spent on renovations after illegal construction was discovered on the property. He alleges that he requested the money back, leading to the argument that escalated into violence. Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting in Istanbul.
