Their youngest son – Cınar Cobanoglu – was found lying seriously injured nearby but died after being rushed to Burhan Nalbantoğlu State Hospital by paramedics.

Neighbours were alerted when the couple’s other son, 18-year-old Erlap, ran to their house to hide because he reportedly said his “younger brother had gone berserk.”

They rushed over to the property and found his parents dead in bed, reports news outlet sozcu.com.

One of the neighbours said: “We woke up at three in the morning with a violent knock on our door.
