Mother Karatay, who received her daughter's body in a container 6 years later, said: “After years, they gave me few bones instead of my daughter's body. This can only be described as cruelty. How can one accept such treatment? But even if it's one bone belonging to my dayughter, I'm okay with it. I am not hurt by what we have been through, because I am proud of my daughter. Condolences to all our people."
