“DON’T do that, don’t shoot my father!”

They were allegedly the final words of a Bournemouth University student shot dead in Turkey as he moved towards a gunman.

Dogukan Umut, 23, was shot in the head in the southern city of Adana in January when a bank manager pulled a gun.

His dad was seriously injured but survived.

Dogukan had been studying for a master’s degree in International Business Management and was on a three-day trip to his hometown.

His killer has been put before the Turkish courts for a pre-trial hearing and dramatic CCTV images have been released.

The Turkish press said the court was told Dogukan’s developer father had an argument with a female bank clerk.

He did not want to pay a commission on the transfer of 100,000 Turkish lira (£38,000) because he was a long-standing customer.

The clerk claims she was insulted, and told her husband, a bank manager, who then confronted the father at his office.

Another argument ensued and tearful bank manager Soner Atac told the court: “In a few seconds I became a killer.”

He said he wanted an apology for his wife.

And he claimed he was provoked, believed he was about to be attacked, and killed Dogukan in panic without realising what he doing.

His solicitor claims the CCTV backs up his claim that he was put under pressure.

However, the father said Dogukan tried to protect him when the bank manager produced a gun and aimed at his head. The student was shot several times, even as he lay on the floor, claims the father.

The prosecutor has asked for a life sentence.

The case has now been adjourned for examination of the CCTV footage.
