Bursa player Yildirim Spor strangled his five-year-old son in hospital when he was hospitalized for a coronavirus. You didn't confess to the crime until 11 days later
The story, which occurred a few days ago in the city of Bursa (Turkey), it looks like something out of the macabre plot of a horror movie. Little Kasim Toktas, five, was killed by his father, soccer player Cevher Tokta, on April 23, the same day he was admitted to the hospital on suspicion that he had contracted the coronavirus.
“I have pressed the pillow over my son's head during 15 minutes. My son was dying. However, he kept printing with a pillow until he died, “Toktas confessed to the court he was taken to 11 days later, when he confessed to the crime.
Cevher Tokta, 33, came to play in the Turkish Super League in the 2008-2009 season, enrolled in the Hacettepe Spor from Ankara. He was currently playing for Bursa Yildirim Spor, one of the teams in the Regional Amateur League. On April 23, he took his son to the Dortelik Children's Hospital, suffering from cough and high fever, according to the Turkish media Milliyet.
After a first examination, little Kasim was hospitalized with the suspicion that he had contracted the coronavirus. Cevher Toktas, who had stayed with him, left the room the same day and reported that his son was getting worse. Intervened by doctors, he was quickly taken to the intensive care unit. However, little Kasim was unable to save himself despite all efforts after about two hours. The day after, he was buried in Hamitler Cemetery.
Although no one initially suspected the murder, 11 days later, on May 4, Cevher Toktas went to the Ar Police Center and admitted that he had killed his son. You confess that you don't like him and that he had a nervous breakdown in the hospital and I killed him strangling him.
The central defender stated that his son started coughing two weeks before the incident: “I did not take my son to the hospital due to the coronavirus measures.” With complete coldness, Cevher spoke of the moment of the murder: “I press the pillow on my son, who I was lying on my back in bed. I didn't lift the pillow for about 15 minutes. “” I started calling the doctor. Then the doctor and nurses came to the room. They took him to the intensive care unit, “he confessed.
“As I was sitting at home with my wife on the night of May 4, I thought about what was happening and was upset. I left my house telling my wife that I had some work. I don't know why I don't like it. The reason I killed my son that day is simply because I didn't love him. I do not have any health or psychological problem. I have no problem with my wife and my other son, “said Toktas.
The judge sent him to prison on the charge of murdering a close relative. The court also ordered an autopsy on Kasm's body.
