	&nbsp;

	It soon turned out that the police suspects of the case who announced ostracized from profession ,were moved other police precincts.

	The family lawyers have made a denunciation on the account of "intend to kill" , "misconduct and malpractice" and "Defamation of the dead" about the state employees who killed Hacı Lokman Birlik when he was wounded and dragged his dead body in the streets.
