Turkish businessman Alptekin Aksoy (52), who has been involved in trade in Tanzania for 30 years and is among the leading generator sellers of the country, lost his life as a result of an armed attack this morning.
The incident occurred in the morning hours in front of the workplace of businessman Alptekin Aksoy in the capital, Dar es Salaam.
Aksoy, who had gotten out of his car and was heading for the rear door, was attacked by two masked motorcyclists who approached him.
One of the attackers opened fire on Alptekin Aksoy at close range with a Kalashnikov (AK-47). The attacker approached the fallen businessman, fired another shot, and fled the scene on his motorcycle.
Execution Moment on Security Cameras
The moment of the execution was captured on the workplace's security cameras. The footage reveals the attackers' highly professional behavior.
It's believed the suspects followed Aksoy from his home and knew his arrival time in advance. A motorcycle appears to have arrived at the scene and positioned itself just before Aksoy parked his car.
Result of Inheritance Dispute?
According to information obtained by Bold Media, Alptekin Aksoy was involved in the generator trade in Tanzania, as well as large-scale construction projects.
Married to the daughter of a prominent Tanzanian businessman, Aksoy reportedly experienced some family disagreements over the division of inheritance following the death of his father-in-law.
Assassination Hours Before the Inheritance Trial
It's noteworthy that the attack occurred before the final hearing of the inheritance case, which is expected to be held today at 2:00 PM local time.
Those close to the Turkish businessman stated that Aksoy's victory in the case was considered almost certain. Meanwhile, Alptekin Aksoy reportedly told his daughters some time ago, "If I die, bury me next to your grandfather in Tanzania."
Those Involved in the Murder Will Be Brought to Justice
Tanzanian police have launched a full-scale investigation to capture the perpetrators of the attack. Dar es Salaam Special Regional Police Commander Jumanne Muliro assured that everyone involved in the murder of 52-year-old Alptekin Aksoy, a Turkish and Tanzanian citizen, will be brought to justice, no matter what.
Security experts are considering the possibility that the attack was carried out by a professional organization
