The Tragic Incident
Semra’s husband, Hakan Aysal, took her to a scenic location in Butterfly Valley, Mugla, under the guise of a romantic outing. During their time there, Hakan pushed Semra off a cliff, staging the incident to appear accidental. Investigators later uncovered that Hakan had taken out life insurance in Semra’s name and orchestrated the event with premeditation. He was found guilty of her murder and sentenced accordingly.
