It's a very bad situation, people hear about it on the news. May God take the life that gives it. I was very affected, I cried. Look at them? Their doors are open, their windows are open, their laundry has been outside for days. It's a bad thing. May God not let anyone experience this."

'THEY LOOKED VERY HAPPY'

Gürsel Altuntaş, who sells milk in the neighborhood and stated that the couple was his customer, said, "I knew them as good people. They would buy milk from time to time. They looked very happy. They were my customers and they were good, but I was upset. I didn't expect something like this from either of them, we were upset."
