Appeal Against Unjust Provocation Reduction in Murder of 15-Year-Old Fatih Acacı
While the family appealed the 12-year prison sentence given to the defendant who killed 15-year-old Fatih Acacı in Ankara, it was revealed that the family was harassed with the defendant's armed photos shared on social media.
The decision to sentence Doğukan Gündür to 12 years in prison for killing 15-year-old Fatih Acacı with 12 stab wounds in Ankara has been taken to the court of appeals. During the trial process, crime searches and armed photos of the defendant were detected on his phone, and new images shared on social media on the anniversary of his death caused great pain to the family.
Development of the Incident and Trial Process
The argument between Fatih Acacı and his peer Doğukan Gündür over a girl issue in the Pursaklar district of Ankara on September 7, 2025, turned into a fight. As a result of the fight, Doğukan Gündür severely injured Fatih Acacı with a knife, and the child, who was taken to the hospital, lost his life on September 8, 2025.
Court Decision and Application of Reduction
In the trial held at the Ankara 2nd Juvenile Assize Court, defendant Doğukan Gündür was tried for intentional murder. The court panel applied an unjust provocation reduction for the defendant and determined the sentence as 12 years in prison.
Family's Appeal Application and Legal Process
Finding the unjust provocation reduction insufficient, Fatih Acacı's family took the decision to the court of appeals. The family's lawyers and relatives demand that the decision be overturned and the incident be evaluated within the scope of premeditated murder and with monstrous intent.
Defendant's Phone Examinations and Findings
In detailed examinations conducted on the defendant's phone during the trial, it was determined that he searched the internet for intentional murder and injury penalties just before the murder. Additionally, it was detected in the file that there were photos of the defendant taken with a weapon and a machete.
Harassment on Social Media and New Shock
On the first anniversary of Fatih Acacı's death, the sharing of new prison and armed photos belonging to the defendant as comments on social media platforms deeply shook the grieving family. The appeal review at the Ankara Regional Court of Justice is ongoing.
