Soccer player, Cevher Toktas Confesses To Killing 5-Year-Old Son
Cevher Toktas, a soccer player in Turkey has reportedly killed his son, whilst the 5-year-old was in hospital being examined for Coronavirus. Whilst the young child did test negative for Coronavirus, the boy was in critical condition after his father suffocated him.
Toktas said in a statement that he did not like his son from birth and confessed to suffocating his son to death with a pillow as a result. The Bursa Office of the Prosecutor released a statement on behalf of Toktas: “I pressed a pillow on my son who was lying on his back. For 15 minutes, I pressed down on the pillow without lifting it up. My son was struggling during that time. After he stopped moving, I lifted the pillow. Then I yelled for doctors to help to draw any suspicions away from me,” read the statement.

“I never loved my younger son after he was born. I don’t know why I don’t love him. The sole reason why I killed him that day is because I didn’t like him. I don’t have any mental issues.”
Before the soccer player made his confession, Toktas blamed his son’s death on Coronavirus. After he’d suffocated the 5-year-old with a pillow, he called for doctors, attempting to play the situation off.
Cevher Toktas will now face trial and will likely face a life sentence in prison.
