Prosecutors have requested an aggravated life sentence for the daughter of the late singer Güllü, accusing her of intentionally causing her mother's death by pushing her from their sixth-floor apartment window in Yalova. The indictment details a premeditated act, with the prosecution asserting that the daughter, Tuğyan Ülkem Gülter, planned and executed the fatal fall.
The investigation into Güllü's death has concluded, revealing a dramatic narrative that has led to these serious charges. The prosecution's case hinges on the allegation of intentional homicide, specifically targeting a parent, which carries severe penalties under Turkish law. The phrase 'Malkata' and 'Hadi görüşürüz' (roughly translated as 'See you later' or 'Let's meet') are cited as significant details within the indictment, though their specific context and implication remain central to the ongoing legal proceedings.
Adding another layer to the case, Sultan Nur Ulu, who was present in the apartment at the time of the incident, faces charges of perjury. Prosecutors are seeking up to four years in prison for Ulu, alleging that she provided false testimony related to the events surrounding Güllü's death. The legal proceedings are expected to bring further clarity to the circumstances of the singer's tragic end.
