    I’m not sure, but did he have any other reasonable way of recovering his €36,000 they stole from him while threatening his life? The police certainly weren’t going to find it.

      You may hypothesize all you like about whether or not the money would have been recovered, but the fact remains that two people were killed. The value of a human life is in my opinion more than €18,000 and I’m very sorry to hear that you disagree.

        Then they shouldn’t have put that price on their own life.

          They didn’t put a price on their own lives, because manslaughter is illegal in Turkey as it is in most places as a disproportionate use of force, nor is it a case of self-defense. There are punishments for theft, and I’m not personally interested in advocating for capital punishment or vigilantism.

        Two people who would’ve never been killed, had they not decided to risk their lives and the life of their victim over €36,000.

        They devalued their own lives when they made the decision to devalue the life of their victim. And in most cases, this situation plays out in their favor.

        Honestly, I’m glad they got what was coming to them and I hope the victim here is found totally Innocent of any wrongdoing.
