Who is Çumra Monster?
Abdullah Aksoy, an overlooked story of Konya, committed a gruesome series of murders in a quiet corner of Çumra in 1965. The surrounding residents were shocked when they learned about the brutality of the "Çumra Monster". It was as if corpses were pouring out of every house. The reason that led to Aksoy's murders was truly chilling.
Abdullah Aksoy is one of Turkey's little-known serial killers. He was born in 1934 in Konya's Çumra district, to a family with four children. His family was engaged in agricultural work and made a living. His brothers went to Germany, but he stayed in Çumra. His life changed completely after the trauma he experienced in a field accident at the age of 15. Aksoy was having frequent seizures and fainting. People took pity on him and tried to help him, some even called him "crazy".
Aksoy's confessions were chilling, and bodies continued to appear even years later. He was about 30 years old at the time and admitted beating his friend, but said he rejected his offer of a relationship. Police found signs of injury confirming an attack, and when he appeared in court the next day, Aksoy was sentenced to 80 days in prison.
After he was released from prison, the incident was not emphasized much. However, Aksoy became more confident after his release. Over the years, the losses began to increase, but the police did not have enough evidence. However, things began to change with the appointment of a new commissioner to Çumra in 1967. The commissioner was determined to find the missing people, and the fact that 2 German archaeologists and 3 Turkish technicians were among the missing made the job even more serious.
The remains found in Çumra led to Abdullah Aksoy being known as the "Çumra Monster". During the research, it was revealed that Aksoy was working in the excavations in Çatalhöyük, and the commissioner began to follow Aksoy step by step. However, after days of tracking, it was seen that Aksoy did not make any suspicious movements. One day, a woman from Çumra went to the police station and reported that she had not heard from her husband, and the commissioner took action to question Aksoy.
They brought Aksoy to the police station for questioning and, according to the woman, she said that her husband had bought raisins while leaving the house. This became a clue for the commissioner and a search was made at Aksoy's house. The missing person's watch and blood-stained clothing were found in the house, but this evidence was not enough. Upon further search, bodies were found hidden under the house.
Aksoy confessed everything and was arrested, but committed suicide by hanging himself in prison one morning. It took a long time for Çumra to find peace, but years later, ruins found during the construction of a house revealed Aksoy's true face. The story of the "Çumra Monster", one of Turkey's least known serial killers, was full of frightening facts.
