Teen Boy Mutilates 2 Girls & Throws One Of Their Heads Into The Street In FRONT Of Her Mom

Three 19-year-Olds Killed In Hours In Istanbul, October 4, 2024

On a grim day in Istanbul, October 4, 2024, a chilling series of events left three 19-year-olds dead. Aishanor, a girl found with her throat slit; Iqbal, a girl gruesomely beheaded; and Semi, a boy who died in an apparent fall, all were the tragic subjects of a murderous sequence. The crimes converged at the Ramparts Historical Site, a location that has seen a transformation from a defense structure to a gathering place for youth.

Aishanor, Iqbal, and Semi Were the Murder Victims

The ghastly details of the murders began to unravel when it was discovered that Semi, a young butcher, had killed his girlfriend Aishanor and stalked another teenager, Iqbal. Aishanor was found slain in Semi's bed, her life ended in violence while covered with a black blanket. Semi's pursuit of Iqbal ended in horror when she, under threat to her family, met with him, only to be killed. Their connections revealed a sinister narrative, linked by violence and geographical proximity.

Crimes at Istanbul's Ramparts Historical Site

The homicides took place at Istanbul's Ramparts, a Byzantine structure now known for teenage socialization rather than historical invasions. It was here that Iqbal’s dismembered body was displayed grotesquely atop the walls and her head was tossed to the ground, landing at her mother's feet in a scene of unparalleled brutality.

Killings Involved Dismemberment of Victims' Bodies

Adding to the horrific atmosphere, the perpetrator's method of killing involved dismemberment, with arms cut and shoved into the neck, paralleling a suspect’s drawing. Iqbal’s body was subjected to this gruesome fate, dismembered by someone skilled with knives. Later, when police discovered Aishanor's body, it brought a disturbing closure to the couple's narrative and a stark warning of the dangers that prey on the vulnerable.

The incel community has garnered attention for its connection to a series of disturbing behaviors and even crimes, as shown by the case of a male perpetrator named Semi.

Male Perpetrator Semi Was Involved In Online Incel Communities

Turkish police investigations revealed that Semi participated in several online incel Discord servers where topics like anti-feminism and training women were often discussed. Stephanie Soo and other sources point out that Semi, a stalker with a history of troubling behavior, was a member of these groups. His actions and participation on platforms such as Twitter and Discord, where he used his full name, suggest an alignment with incel ideologies. The actions described, including stalking and terrorizing victims as well as the content of his video messages, indicate that Semi adopted certain tactics from his online engagements.

Obsessed With Persuasion and Manipulation Tactics

Although not explicitly mentioned, Semi’s calculated approach to communication implied in his video confessions suggests an obsession with persuasion and manipulation tactics consistent with those sometimes espoused in incel communities.

Incels In Turkey Celebrated Crimes, Encouraged Violence

After Semi’s crimes, there was a disturbing reaction within the incel community in Turkey. Members of incel groups on Discord extolled Semi, and some called for others to follow in his footsteps.

Turkey's recent actions involving a media blackout on a high-profile murder case and the exit from the Istanbul Convention have sparked significant criticism and raised issues regarding the country's commitment to human rights and gender-based violence protection.

Turkey Enforces Media Blackout on Ramparts Murders Case

In the podcast, the co-hosts bring to light Turkey’s enforcement of a media blackout. This blackout came into effect three days after the discourse around a government portal that had been hacked in relation to the murders. Initially, the video of the murder in question went viral without restrictions, but shortly afterward, social media, including platforms like Discord, went dark.

Censored Public Discourse Around Crimes

A media ban imposed by the Turkish government created confusion and made it increasingly difficult to verify the details of the crimes. The Turkish president instigated this media blackout, effectively censoring the press from publishing any more about the incident.

Citizens Angered by Government's Failure to Address Gender-Based Violence

Turkish citizens voiced their outrage over the government’s media censorship. The public recalled an instance when the government shut down Twitter during an earthquake, disrupting rescue coordination efforts. The disappointment grew as neighbors and citizens were left questioning why the burden of accountability fell solely on the public, instead of being assumed by the government. Anger was also directed at Semmy’s parents, who were interviewed prior to the major media ban. However, there was limited information available, and people were relying on channels like Discord for answers, indicating a lack of transparency from the authorities.

Turkey's Withdrawal From the Istanbul Convention Was Controversial

Turkey's president expressed discontent with the Istanbul Convention, primarily citing the inclusion of LGBTQ+ issues as conflicting with Turkey's values.

Government Cites LGBTQ+ Concerns Despite Convention's Aim to Prevent Violence Against Women

The president criticized the convention's terminology – for instance, its usage of "partner" instead of "wife and husband," which is inclusive of non-married straight couples and LGBTQ+ relationships. Moreover, he dismissed the requirement that a vi ...

Incel Investigation Uncovers "Anthraums" Child Abuse Network

The investigation into Semichalik's alleged incel activities led authorities to uncover a grave situation—a child abuse network in Turkey, akin to the infamous "Anthraums." This network included interconnected Discord servers identified by Turkish netizens as "901."

Network Used Hacked Data to Blackmail Minors

Turkish versions of these exploitation rings were dubbed "enthronemes." The network was found to be using hacked data to blackmail minors. This information came from a government portal which lacked adequate security measures, consequently leaving personal data of citizens vulnerable. Hackers exploited this unprotected data to coerce minors into abusive situations.

Government's Failure to Address Issue Undermined Public Trust

While not directly stated, the implicit critique of Turkish authorities throughout the investigation and the journalist's call to action indicates that the government had previously failed to address the issue, undermining public trust. Some individuals involved in moderating the abusive Discord servers were minors and were arrested, although details about them were not made public due to their age.
