A body previously discovered in Turkey's Balıkesir province has been officially identified as belonging to 46-year-old Dilafruz Chulliyeva, a native of Uzbekistan's Samarkand region. This confirmation came through DNA testing, as reported by the "Society for the Protection of Uzbek Women's Rights" in Turkey.

The DNA analysis involved comparing samples taken from the deceased's family members, resulting in a complete match. According to the society, 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.

The "Society for the Protection of Uzbek Women's Rights" stated that it will monitor the case until a fair resolution is achieved, 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.

Four individuals suspected in this murder have been detained, and they are reportedly Uzbek citizens. Available information indicates that Dilafruz Chulliyeva had legal residency and work permits in Turkey and was employed as a domestic worker in a house in the Burhaniye district of Balıkesir province. She had been missing since January 21 and was the subject of a search.

This marks the third Uzbek national brutally murdered in Turkey recently. Previously, in Istanbul, Uzbek women Durdona Hakimova and Sayyora Ergashaliyeva fell victim to killers. Their deaths have sparked significant public outcry in Turkish society, highlighting ongoing safety concerns for migrant workers in the country.
