Aysin and Ali Ulvi Büyüknohutçu were found murdered in their home in the Finike district of Antalya province on May 10. Büyüknohutçu were best known for their activism and lawsuits against stone quarries in Finike and the rest of Antalya. He was the chairman of a tenants' rights association and a consumer rights working group within the Antalya City Council. The man accused of murdering an environmentalist couple committed suicide in prison, where he was being kept while awaiting trial. 31-year-old suspect Ali Yumaç previously confessed that an individual linked to a stone quarry, one of many in the region that the couple was fighting against, had hired him to commit the murder.
