Mother Receives Reduced Sentence โin Daughter’s Strangling Death – Reason Revealed
ฤฐzmir, Tรผrkiye โค – Ayลe Vural โhas โreceived a reduced prison sentence after being convicted of โคintentionally killing her daughter, Zeynep Vural.โ The case, which has drawn meaningfulโ attention in Tรผrkiye, concluded with a sentence of 16 years and 8 months imprisonment, a reduction โฃfrom the initial 20-year sentence handed down by a lowerโ court. the reasoning behind the reduction has now โฃbeen officially announced.
The initial โtrial saw Ayลe Vural sentenced to 20 years, later reducedโข to โ16 years and 8 months due to mitigating โคcircumstancesโฃ including provocation and her “good state” during the hearing. Following anโฃ appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeals, the โ1st Criminal Chamber determined the act occurred under provocation,โฃ leading toโข the overturning โof the โoriginal sentence. Defendants SV and ร.V., who were triedโค pending, โwere acquitted, and that acquittal was upheld.
A subsequent re-trial at the ฤฐzmir 23rd High Criminal Court resulted in โขthe 16-year and 8-month sentence. During the proceedings, โฃAyลe Vuralโข stated her daughter’s descent into drug โuse wasโค the catalyst for the tragic events, expressing immense griefโค and stating, โ”My daughter drew โฃtheโข rope of our house.” She also expressed herโค distress at seeing drug dealersโค incarcerated, โstating no sentence could alleviate her pain.
While the court โฃacknowledged Ayลe Vural’s claim of lacking intent to kill, it concluded she acted โคwith the intent to cause harm.Theโฃ justificationโ for the sentence highlighted that โฃtheโฃ incident involved more than a simple attack, and that legitimate defense, fueled by excitement, fear, or haste, was notโ a factor in the outcome.The detailed, reasoned decisionโ reveals a history โof long-term problems stemming fromโฃ Zeynep Vural’s behavior and actions. This included โฃa suicide attempt ten years โprior,requiring interventionโฃ to prevent her from jumping from a roof,and a previous incident โคwhere โshe self-harmed with aโ razor,causing injury โคto herself โคand family members.
The decisionโข specifically cites Zeynep Vural’s psychological discomfort and addiction, noting her aggressive โขbehavior towards family members. Moreover, the court noted that on the day ofโค the โincident, Zeynep Vural verbally and physically assaulted her mother. โฃ
According โขto a โdecision from the ฤฐzmir 2nd Family Court, โคZeynep Vural presented a dangerโ of violence. Considering these factors, the court emphasizedโ that a reduction inโข the sentence was โคwarranted.
