Journeyman Habip Aksoy, accused of causing the death of apprentice Muhammed Kendirci in Bozova district of Şanlıurfa, said at the first hearing: "It was dusty, it happened while I tried to clean it. We were joking around."
Muhammed Kendirci's family reacted angrily to the defendant side at the hearing and had a nervous breakdown. The court rejected the defendant's requests for release and house arrest and ordered his continued detention.
