Additionally, it’s been 11 days passed already. But, it seems Toktas is suffering from his guilt. That’s why he turned himself in to police. He admits that he killed his child because he didn’t like him. An official statement by Toktas, provided by the Bursa Office of the Prosecutor, read:

I pressed a pillow on my son who was lying on his back. For 15 minutes, I pressed down on the pillow without lifting it up. My son was struggling during that time. After he stopped moving, I lifted the pillow. Then I yelled for doctors to help to draw any suspicions away from me.

Furthermore, he added that he don’t have any mental issues. But, he admits that he never liked his son since the day he sees the light of this earth.

I never loved my younger son after he was born. I don’t know why I don’t love him. The sole reason why I killed him that day is because I didn’t like him. I don’t have any mental issues.
