The body previously discovered in Turkey's Balıkesir province has been confirmed through DNA testing to belong to 46-year-old Dilafruz Chulliyeva, a native of the Samarkand region. This was announced by the 'Society for the Protection of the Rights of Uzbek Women' in Turkey, highlighting another tragic case involving a migrant worker.

During the examination, DNA samples taken from the deceased's family members were compared, resulting in a complete match. Administrative and legal documents related to the handover of the body to relatives are currently being processed. The repatriation process is being coordinated by the Consulate General of Uzbekistan in Istanbul, as authorities work to manage the aftermath of the incident.

The 'Society for the Protection of the Rights of Uzbek Women' stated that it will monitor the process until the case is justly concluded, the perpetrators are identified, and they are held accountable under the law. Earlier, a disfigured woman's body was found in Turkey, with initial reports suggesting it might be Dilafruz Chulliyeva, raising concerns about migrant safety.

Four individuals suspected in this murder have been detained, with reports indicating they are Uzbek citizens. According to available information, Dilafruz Chulliyeva had legal residency and work permits in Turkey. She was employed as a domestic worker in a house in the Burhaniye district of Balıkesir province and had been missing since January 21, after which a search was initiated.

This marks the third Uzbek citizen brutally murdered in Turkey recently, following the killings of Durdona Hakimova and Sayyora Ergashaliyeva in Istanbul. Their deaths have sparked significant public resonance in Turkish society, underscoring ongoing challenges and vulnerabilities faced by migrant communities from Central Asia in the region.
