Murat Olgun G. was handed an aggravated life sentence for the deliberate murder of transsexual Çağla from Ankara. Murat Olgun G. was furthermore found guilty of looting his victim's home, where he had committed the homicide, and received another 12-year prison sentence.

The court rejected the defendant's claim for mitigation due to unjust provocation.
