Karabulut murder suspect surrenders to police
Garipoğlu was believed to be hiding abroad, with speculation focusing on Russia and Armenia. However, his surrender in İstanbul suggests that he might have never left the country after the murder.
Garipoğlu, still legally a minor as he is under 18, was taken to the Juvenile Department in Üsküdar.
In the first pictures after his surrender, taken by media members while being taken to the hospital for a medical examination before he was transferred to the Juvenile Department, Garipoğlu appears to be exhausted, with short hair and a beard, in a pair of jeans and a black jacket.
His lawyer, Aytekin Kaya, who talked to the suspect at the Juvenile Department, told reporters that during the meeting he explained to Garipoğlu that if he is arrested, he will be jailed, indicted, tried and then possibly sentenced. Kaya added that since Garipoğlu is a minor, it is unlikely for him to get a sentence without the possibility of parole.
Aytekin also said, speaking to CNN Türk, Garipoğlu's first words before he surrendered to police were “I am sorry for my dad.” His father, Nida Garipoğlu, has been arrested for aiding and abetting.
Meanwhile, Kaya asked Garipoğlu if he wanted anything. The suspect asked for a sucuk, or Turkish sausage, sandwich.
