Brit, 57, killed in ‘lethal injection honey trap’ after going to meet 19-year-old

Murat Arpapay, 57, from the UK, was found dead from a lethal injection and tied to a chair at an apartment in Turkey with police investigating an alleged “honey trap” involving a 19-year-old

A man from the UK was allegedly tied to a chair and killed with a lethal injection after falling in love with a 19-year-old woman whom he met after moving to live in Turkey.

Murat Arpapay, 57, still had family in England when he decided to move to live in Turkey and start a new life with friends he met online from Istanbul. But locals discovered the man’s body in the ventilation shaft of a rented apartment and reported it to police on July 27.

His body was taken to the Sirinevler Forensic Medicine Institute, as it was considered a suspicious death and an autopsy revealed that he had been killed by a chemical injection. Following the report, the police initiated an investigation into the incident. After reviewing security camera footage, it was found that Mr Arpapay arrived at the apartment where his body was later discovered with a woman called Muhterem Percikli, 19, who is said to have been his girlfriend.

Ms Percikli was taken into custody by police who also identified three alleged accomplices – Serpil Demir, Dogan Sariyildiz, and Fatih Erginoglu – who had entered the apartment shortly after the couple. A fifth suspect was also identified as Ersen Basak. According to the statements provided by the suspects, Mr Arpapay, who had met Ersen Basak on social media, had lived in England for many years. After returning to Turkey, he told Basak that he supported himself with money sent by his family from England.
