Investigation Report

Turkish news outlet the Daily Sabah reported that Toktas told police he smothered his son with a pillow for 15 minutes before calling for help from hospital staff, which he only did to throw suspicion off himself. Toktas told nurses that Kasim was having trouble breathing and he was rushed to the ICU.

According to the Daily Sabah Toktas gave a statement to police. He said:

“I pressed a pillow on my son who was lying on his back. For 15 minutes, I pressed down on the pillow without lifting it up. My son was struggling during that time. After he stopped moving, I lifted the pillow. Then I yelled for doctors to help to draw any suspicions away from me. I never loved my younger son after he was born. I don’t know why I don’t love him. The sole reason why I killed him that day is that I didn’t like him. I don’t have any mental issues.”

The child died two hours later.
