	HIS DNA MATCHED

	'NOT AT FLIGHT RISK'

	 

	Osman Ç who claimed to be the victim of this incident and that his family was devestated because of it was released by the court which decided Osman Ç. is not at flight risk.

	 

	ATTORNEYS WILL APPEAL

	THE CHILD ATTEMPTED SUICIDE

	 

	Speaking to Mesopotamia Agency (MA), Z.Ç's sister Pervin Şişman said the decision to release him was wrong and her sister already attempted suicide twice.
