The victim, Cumali Turhan, had a fatal encounter with Ceyhan Dinler at The Globe pub in Chelmsford, Essex, on November 19, 2024, due to a rivalry over a woman they were both involved with.
Subsequently, CCTV footage captured the men heading to a nearby bar where Cumali was brutally attacked. Dinler fled to Turkey the following day and remains a wanted fugitive in connection with the murder.
