Abdurrahim Özüdoğru

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abdurrahim Özüdoğru (born 1952 in Yenişehir ; died June 13, 2001 in Nuremberg ) was one of the victims of the series of murders by the terrorist organization “ National Socialist Underground ” (NSU).

Özüdoğru emigrated from Turkey to Germany in 1972 and worked as a metal worker. In addition, he and his wife set up a tailoring shop in Nuremberg. Özüdoğru had a daughter.

On June 13, 2001, he was killed in his tailor shop around 4.30 p.m. by two headshots from a Ceska 83 . After the murder, the perpetrators photographed their victim. The photo can also be seen in the NSU's confession film. At 9:30 p.m. Özüdoğru's body was discovered by a passerby.

Instead of investigating possible right-wing extremist motives, homicide investigators suspected drug crime as the cause of the murder. Officials examined the store and Özüdoğru's home with drug detection dogs, but found no evidence. After the search, an officer reported in a police note that he had found "trinkets not uncommon for the homes of Turks".
