This is the horrific moment a woman inadvertently kills her nephew by driving over his head with her SUV after the youngster takes a tumble while running alongside her car after his hand gets stuck in the door.

Zerrin Kara, age not reported, accidentally ran over her nephew, eight-year-old Kutsal Hazar Eymen Kara, in the car park of their apartment block in the Turkish city of Izmir on 1st August last year.

CCTV footage shows how the distraught woman carries her nephew’s limp body to the lift and another clip shows her waiting in the apartment block’s lobby where a doctor arrives and performs CPR.

The businesswoman had raised the youngster as a son and he had been living with her at the time of the incident, after which she was taken into custody but was swiftly released without charge.

Not only did she have to contend with causing the boy’s death but also with the ensuing family fallout, as the boy’s father, Adem Kara, subsequently handed the CCTV footage to the press and demanded his sister’s arrest – which was not forthcoming.

According to Zerrin, her brother’s motive was money, though he denied this, retorting that it was so the truth could be revealed.

Kutsal’s mother had passed away three months before the incident, having separated from the boy’s father earlier. The youngster was taken to the same hospital his mother passed away in where he was pronounced dead, reportedly from a brain haemorrhage.

His father had married a different woman and was living with her and their child, Kutsal’s half-sibling, at the time of the incident.

Though the incident took place last year, it was only reported in local media together with the footage on Saturday, 9th October.

Adem Kara said at the time: “A child died in this incident. My son died. Even my family was trying to protect my sister. It worked. I just want justice to be served. I want her to be caught and sent to prison as soon as possible. I want her to receive whatever the maximum punishment is.”
