THE ANATOMY OF DOUBLE MURDER
This newspaper cover you see here today is published in “Europe” for the first time in the Turkish press in Cyprus…
This is “Mahi” newspaper …
Dated 25th April 1962…
Newspaper of newspaper famous EOKA Nikos Samson…
The front page is full of double murder photos…
The murders of Ayhan Hikmet and Ahmet Muzaffer Gurkan…
Who took these pics ?
Is it Samson?
NOPE!
Shinasi achiever…
***
This is one of the confessions of ğimizinasi Başaran who we lost in the past years…
He published these confessions in the “Cyprus” newspaper in time…
But for some reason, no one stood up and asked..
How did he get photos of both murders that took place in the same night about five hours apart?
my point is this :
Ahmet Muzaffer Gurkan was killed before Ayhan Hikmet…
In the garden of his house in Kükük Kaymaklı…
Inside her car…
He was ambushed by the assassins who had been ambushed as he parked his car fully…
Could the photographer who took this photo not have known that Ayhan Hikmet would be killed later?
If he knew, why did he hide it?…
Couldn’t he at least go to Ayhan Hikmet’s house and inform him about his best friend, who shares the same fate with Ahmet Gurkan?
Couldn’t the second murder have been prevented this way?
***
Ayhan Hikmet, who was unaware of the murder that took place in Küçük Kaymaklı that night, was sitting with his guest Faiz Kaymak…
He and his wife went to the second floor after seeing off his guests at midnight…
And they lay down and sleep…
Ambush killers shot him in his sleep…
It was two people who were the shooters…
Someone approached the bed and shot a bullet from there…
The wife who woke up seemed to have gone mad screaming…
One of the killers was running legs…
But it wasn’t Lame Mahmut…
***
ilkinasi Başaran was the first journalist to enter that house that night…
With the police officers…
How did he know that he couldn’t publish his photos in Greywolf or Halkın Sesi newspapers?
It must be the order of the organization…
All this comes to mind that Shinasi was already aware of this double murder…
The organization also had instructions for two daily newspapers… The story would not be exaggerated and briefed…
Both the newspapers did so …
They briefly fit the news in two columns without a picture on the front page…
“Two Turkish Cypriot lawyers were shot dead”…
By who ?
“By masked individuals”…
***
According to asiinasi Başaran, his door was broken very late that night…
Nikos Samson was next…
“You are not going to be able to publish these photos anyway, give me the negatives for that,” he told Shinasi…
I don’t know exactly what kind of conversation or negotiation took place between them…
In the end, Shinasi gave Samson a negative film…
And the very next day, in the 25th April “Mahi” newspaper, equipped with such a page…
I didn’t get to see Shinasi before he died and ask him other secrets I was curious about…
Not what they are told…
The things they don’t tell you…
***
This double murder became a murder that changed the course of our political history…
For the first time, leaders of the opposition, supported and supported by a TC ambassador, were killed by the underground organization, TMT…
After Ambassador Emin Dirvana, no other ambassador has supported our opposition against leadership like this…
Why were they killed?
Because they defend the Republic of Cyprus and expose Rauf Denktas’ provocations against it…
Denktaş lived fifty more years after they were murdered…
They will build a memorial grave for Denktaş…
They have statues …
Not even a street has been named yet…
