Ikbal's mother has been trying to get in contact with her daughter for over an hour at this point. Ikbal had been dealing with a stalker for a few years and her family were frantic.
One more try.
Ikbal’s mother dials for her daughter.
Click.
Someone picks up the phone, but the response is not from a 19 yo teenage daughter. It’s a low, quiet voice; her stalker is on the other end. He says 15 words and hangs up.
“Don’t worry. Your daughter is in good hands. The girl is sleeping in peace now…”
A little later, the same day, a video goes viral on Turkish social media - specifically Discord.
A woman screams ‘Ikbal’ as she’s held back by a crowd of people. Clear as day in front of her, in the middle of a busy street is her daughter’s decapitated head.
A second video goes viral.
A boy, 19 yo as well, jumps from the edge of a building with a rope around his neck.
October 4, 2024 three 19 year olds die in the same city. Their deaths all connected and viral on Discord.
Until it goes dark.
