court in the central Turkish city of Nevsehir has charged Fatih Uyar, a Turkish citizen, for the
murder and rape of a young Japanese woman,and seriously
injuring another. The murder victim was Mai Kurihara, a 22-year-old Japanese national who was touring the country along with Hoshie
Teramatsu, also 22 years of age. The Turkish police had initially arrested two suspects on Tuesday
for the attack on the two tourists that happened on Monday.
Kurihara and Teramatsu were visiting the traditional tourist
attractions in Cappadocia, central Turkey. Uyar was charged by
the court for stabbing Kurihara to death and sexually assaulting
her dead body. The police had been alerted to the suspect as Teramatsu was able to identify him from photographs shown to her in the hospital while she was being treated. According to the
office of the governor of Nevsehir, the Zemi Valley where the
two tourists were attacked was a famous tourist attraction
given its lunar-like landscape made of cone-shaped volcanic rock
formations and its rock-carved underground caverns. In a separate incident, Japanese media and journalists were
reportedly attacked and roughed up outside the Nevsehir court.
The Japanese press was mobbed and attacked by a group of
Uyars supporters as they tried to photograph and film him being
taken to jail after his indictment by the Nevsehir court. Turkish
anti-riot police had to separate the two groups and push back the Turkish assailants.
