The scene, of great violence, took place behind closed doors, in a hamlet located southwest of Lyon.

This week, Ceylan Ibliker, 43, is tried before the Rhône Assize Court for the murder of a sexagenarian, found naked, his body larded with more than 260 scissors, in March 2018 in Chabanière.

The accused had met the 63-year-old victim on a gay dating site, reports

Le Progrès. 

At the trial, Ceylan Ibliker, convicted in 2009 for domestic violence after placing a knife on the throat of his ex-wife who wanted to divorce, assured to have gone to the sexagenarian to carry out work.

The man, who explained that he had had some relations with transvestites and homosexuals in recent years, claims to have only had sexual intercourse with the victim, priced at 2,000 euros, like the site for which he had come to this hamlet back of Chabanière.

Sexual practices prohibited in his family from Turkey.

The thesis of self-defense deemed not very credible

To explain his passage to the act, the accused assures that it was self-defense in front of his host who would have tried to approach him one night while he was sleeping.

His refusal to consent to a sexual act would then have angered the sixty-year-old, according to the accused, who told during his hearings that he had been beaten with saucepans and threatened with scissors by his victim.

A not very credible version, the man not bearing traces of beatings when he went on the night of the murder to the gendarmerie, on the advice of a friend, to constitute himself prisoner.

In the meantime, the accused had showered and partially cleaned up the crime scene before leaving the scene, taking the victim's belongings with him.

He had notably seized his bank card with which he had tried several times to withdraw money, only managing to collect ten euros that night.

"What I did is really serious," admitted Ceylan Ibliker in front of the Rhône conference, which faces up to thirty years in prison.

The verdict is expected Friday.
