Khaberni - A tragic family crime occurred in Adana, southern Turkey, after a 34-year-old father killed his children before ending his life inside the family home.
According to Turkish media, the father, named Sergin, shot his daughter Ada (8 years old) and his son Mert (6 years old), and then committed suicide inside the house on Thursday evening, following severe family disputes with his wife who had left the house earlier.
The crime caused a state of shock and outrage in Adana, where relatives of the family gathered in front of the house, and some of them set the father's car on fire, amid tense atmospheres that lasted throughout the night.
On Friday morning, a number of parents preferred not to send their children to the school where the two children were studying, fearing their psychological impact from the incident, while the school management placed certificates of Ada, a second-grade student, and her brother Mert, who was in kindergarten, on their seats with two bouquets of flowers, in a touching human scene that received wide interaction on social media.
