Kucuk's son grieves his mother in the front of her apartment.
A thief robbing a shop next-door to the apartment of a murdered
elderly Armenian woman in central Istanbul left a note saying,
"I was the killer," as an intense police investigation continues,
reported daily Hurriyet.
On Dec. 28, 2012, 84-year-old Maritsa Kucuk was stabbed several times
at her home in Istanbul's Samatya neighborhood. Following the murder,
investigators established a special team to look for the perpetrator.
The Istanbul Police Directorate has drawn a police sketch of the
suspect and is performing a search against the images of the security
cameras located in the neighborhood. Security measures have also been
drastically increased.
According to daily Hurriyet's report, the shop owner, identified as R.
M., found the safe intact in its place, but with this message
inscribed on its top: "It would have been good for me to take it,
because I needed the money. I took few things, I was the killer." R.
M. told Hurriyet that the thief had entered the shop during the
morning and added that he knew Kucuk before the tragedy.
However, police officials contacted by the Hurriyet Daily News didn't
confirm the incident. Yesayi Demir, director of Surp Kevork Church,
told the Daily News that it was "too early to make any comment."
After Kucuk's murder, two other attacks were carried out in the past
month against elderly Armenian women in the Samatya and Bakırköy
districts. One of the women, 87-year-old Turfanda AÅ~_ık, lost an eye,
while the other woman was robbed and severely injured. Most recently,
84-year-old Sultan Akyar was attacked in Samatya, after which she
underwent eye surgery. On Jan. 27 a march was organized in Samatya
district to protest the attacks.
