Hundreds of people who came to the Izmir Courthouse in the morning called for the murderer and the forces behind him to be revealed. Lawyers and hundreds of people were kept waiting in front of the courtroom, which started late because the hall was not ready.

POLICE WANTED TO RECORD THE COURT ROOM
 
A police officer tried to videotape the people in the court room which caused the reaction of the lawyers. The police was made to delete the video upon the request of the lawyers.
 
A BRAWL BROKE OUT
 
The killer Gencer was accompanied by the gendermerie to use the restroom. Gencer laughed at the people following the hearing as he was walking by them which caused a brawl broke out in the hall. The people at court started shouting slogans saying the killer will be held to account.
 
HDP Group Deputy Chairperson Meral Danış Beştaş reacted to the fact that the family was seated too close to the accused and he was escorted to the felon's dock walking by the family while going out. After the reaction of the people in the hall, the fact that the defendant laughed at the people was recorded in the minutes and the head of the court stated that they would ensure that the entrance and exit of the accused will be made through another door.
