Þükran Aydýn: evidences missing from my husband file
Þükran Aydýn has identified two people among five suspects detained for the murder of her husband former pro Kurdish party HEP (People's Labour Party) Diyarbakýr Provincial Chairman Vedat Aydin.
Þükran Aydýn remarked that the file of her husband's murder doesn't contain the identikits she had given to the police 20 years ago.
Þükran Aydýn had described the suspects to the officer in charge of the investigation at Diyarbakýr Public Prosecutor's Office basing her testimony on the identikits in the file but some documents in the file have reportedly gone missing.
Six suspects had been taken into custody at an earlier stage in connection to the murder of Vedat Aydýn who had been sized from his house 20 years ago on 5 July and found dead on 7 July near Maden (district of Elazýð).
Speaking about the events Þükran Aydýn said; "I was interrogated by Hüseyin Kocadað who died in 1996 in what is known as the Susurluk accident. The police had drawn three identikits following our description of the possible responsible for the murder, but one of these identikits was missing in the file when I went to the prosecutor's office last week."
Meanwhile, there has been an important breakthrough in the investigation. JITEM (Gendarmerie Intelligence and Anti-Terror Unit) member H.Ç., who served as a civil servant for the Gendarmerie in the cities of Kütahya, Bursa and Izmir after having been on active service in Diyarbakýr JITEM group between 1989-1996, was interrogated yesterday and his house was searched in connection with the investigation.
One other person involved in the murder is allegedly retired major A.O. who is stated to be still alive.
Today the Saturday Mothers in Diyarbakýr will dedicate their weekly sit in for the disappeared people and the people killed by unknown persons, to Vedat Aydýn.
Vedat Aydýn, the Diyarbakir branch chairman of the now-defunct People’s Labor Party (HEP), was found dead on a road near Malatya on July 7, 1991. Aydýn’s murder is believed to have been committed by an illegal organization inside the gendarmerie known as JÝTEM, which exploited the vast powers granted it as part of counterterrorism efforts to terrorize locals and control and participate in illegal commercial activity in the region.
JITEM (Gendarmerie Intelligence and Counterterrorism) is a wing of the Turkish Police-Military (Gendarmerie) active in the Turkey-PKK conflict. Officially it does not exist, however this claim is widely rejected outside official circles.
When Aydýn’s body was discovered, his head was smashed, and there were eight bullets in his body. He was immediately buried by the Maden Municipality, and it was later discovered that it was Aydýn’s body. After examinations were conducted, Aydýn was re-buried on July 10, 1991. Unidentified people opened fire on the crowd attending Aydýn’s funeral, leaving three people dead and injuring many others.
