Turkish parents in Belgium waiting over year to claim bodies of their two murdered sons

BRUSSELS (A.A) - December 29, 2011 - It has been well over a year since their two sons were murdered but the parents still wait to claim the bodies from a morgue in Belgium's Meulebeke town as prosecutor refuses to hand them over. "It has been 468 days. Their autopsies are done and their killers are known. Will the prosecutor make my sons talk, where are human rights?," says 63-year-old Vahit Aygun, the grieved father of the two who left behind six grandchildren. Aygun says the Kortrijk district attorney, Marc Allegaert, has refused to hand over the bodies citing that the case had yet to be closed. "I have spoken to whomever I could. I wrote a letter even to the Belgian king but I could not reach this one prosecutor. The morgue my charges me 140 euros for each day my sons stay there. The only option I have is to sell my house, pay my debts and left for good this country where I have lived for the past 40 years as soon as I have my sons back," Aygun says.     "Would the prosecutor do the same thing to a Belgian," asks the mother, Naciye Aygun.
