According to foreign media, including Prouda, Asier Kaitan, an 80-year-old woman living in the Topracle area of Denizli, southwest of Turkiye, lightly hit her 18-year-old granddaughter Asier Burr's arm with living room slippers.
Due to the separation of her parents, Burl was staying alone with her grandmother, Kaitan.
After returning home from work, Bourlle told her grandmother that she would go out to play with her friends at night. Then the grandmother refused to allow it for safety and locked the door.
An angry Burr held her arm out to force the door open, and the grandmother slapped her granddaughter's arm lightly with slippers. At that moment, the granddaughter hit her grandmother on the head with a cell phone in her hand. When her grandmother's head was bleeding, the surprised granddaughter immediately contacted the paramedics.
The police, who received the situation from the hospital that provided first aid, launched an investigation, although there was no separate report.
Police claimed that the grandmother's slippers were a weapon and that the teenage granddaughter acted in self-defense. In addition, it was determined that confining the granddaughter inside the house constituted illegal imprisonment. This was a felony punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
In a recent trial, the judge sentenced the grandmother to two and a half years in prison for depriving her of freedom through force, intimidation or deception, and an additional two and a half years for using a weapon (slippers) in the course of the crime. As a result, the grandmother's sentence was sentenced to four years and two months in prison.
The lawyer appealed immediately, saying "excessive sentence".
He pointed out that it is too excessive to interpret the grandmother's light beating for her granddaughter's safety as a special assault.
Kaitan is "Am I going to jail at 80? How can I live there?"I've had surgery and I'm having trouble walking. " he sighed. In the meantime, "I was in a position to go to prison for my slippers. I had no idea slippers were a weapon."
Granddaughter Bourl said "I didn't want to be this way. I didn't file a complaint against my grandmother, but the investigation and trial were held."
