Horror of Ex-Husband at Children's Park in Kırklareli: 1 Dead, 1 Injured

The terrible incident that occurred in Demirtaş Mahallesi, Kırklareli, revealed the destruction of a family. 26-year-old Çisem Çalkantı, while spending time with her 4-year-old daughter at a children's park, became the target of a lethal attack. Allegedly, the perpetrator of the attack was Y.K., the woman's ex-husband whom she had divorced some time ago. The mother and daughter, who were severely injured as a result of the ex-husband firing at them successively with a gun he had brought with him, were taken to the hospital after initial interventions at the scene. The unfortunate incident came to light when bystanders who heard gunshots reported it to the police and medical teams.

Medical teams dispatched to the area immediately after the incident performed the first intervention on the severely injured mother and daughter at the scene. The two were urgently taken to Kırklareli Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi. Here, despite hours of medical interventions by doctors, the young woman Çisem Çalkantı unfortunately lost her life and could not be saved. The 4-year-old daughter, who managed to survive the attack severely injured, was transferred to a different hospital due to the severity of her condition. This transfer was the result of a search for more advanced and specialized medical support to ensure the survival of the little child.

The dimensions of the tragic incident became even more worrying along with the health condition of the young child. According to the latest information obtained, the 4-year-old daughter who survived the attack that caused the death of her mother Çisem Çalkantı was transferred to Trakya Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi. It was learned that the child, who was taken under treatment in the intensive care unit at this hospital, still has a life-threatening condition and her health status is extremely serious. It was reported that all medical facilities were mobilized in this process where specialist doctors are fighting for the little child's life. The condition of the child, who suffered both physical and psychological deep wounds, is being closely followed by her relatives and healthcare workers with great anxiety.

The fate of the suspect Y.K., who carried out the attack and fled the scene, became clear within the scope of the investigation. In the statements made by the authorities, it was reported that the individual who targeted his ex-wife and daughter was found dead shortly after the incident. It was stated that judicial and administrative investigations regarding the suspect's death are ongoing, and the exact dynamics of the incident will be clarified with the results of the forensic medicine and criminal investigation. While this development somewhat facilitated the work of the investigators, it fell far short of dispersing the dark clouds over the family. The relatives of the brutally murdered young woman and the child whose life is in danger are trying to cope with the bitter news and the devastating scene left behind.

The children's park in Kırklareli where the incident took place and its surroundings were placed under quarantine by expert teams for examination. Crime scene investigation teams carried out a meticulous study to collect evidence in the area and to clarify the firing sequence of the gun and the development of the incident in its judicial dimension. The comprehensive investigation, initiated and conducted by the local public prosecutor and police teams, aims to illuminate the situation of both the perpetrator and the victims in all details. It is observed that this type of tragedy has also sparked a public debate on post-divorce domestic violence and femicides. The authorities state that the judicial procedures and the investigation regarding the matter are examined and followed down to the finest detail.
