The first hearing in the case over the suspicious death of singer Gül Tut, known publicly as “Güllü”, was held at the Yalova 1st High Criminal Court. Detained defendant Tuğyan Ülkem Gülter, her daughter, did not accept the charges; the case was adjourned to 9 October.
The prosecutor requested an aggravated life sentence for Gülter for “premeditated murder of an ascendant” and continued detention. Her friend Sultan Nur Ulu will also stand trial facing up to 4 years in prison on a “false testimony” charge.
