In the Turkish province of Hatay, police have uncovered the 2006 murder of 17-year-old Ibrahim Akgül. According to CNN Türk, the suspect was found 20 years later, and the body of the victim was transported 40 kilometres.
Akgül's body was found on 22 June 2006 on the seashore near Samandağ, wrapped in a blanket. The investigation was reopened 20 years later. The work was carried out by the Directorate for the Investigation of Unsolved Crimes, the Hatay prosecutor's office and the Hatay city police.
According to available data, Akgül was killed with a knife in the Antakya district. The body was then wrapped in a blanket and transported to Samandağ, a distance of 40 kilometres.
According to the report, two people helped move the body. They were afraid that they would be killed themselves, and for 20 years they concealed the circumstances of the crime.
In the course of the work, police detained 12 suspects: nine in Hatay province, two in İzmir and one in Mersin. Some of them were released on the decision of the prosecutor or after questioning. Two were released under judicial control, and three were arrested.
