An unfortunate ending to a promising career

It was such a tragic ending to a promising career and a precious life. Female bodybuilding champion Pinar Coban (31), was shot dead in the Western Turkish province of Izmir by her boyfriend Ferhan Saricam (38).

The couple was found dead in their apartment Late Dec 28, after Saricam murdered Coban before turning the gun on himself. Saricam called his uncle after he shot Coban and said goodbye before he took his own life.

Neighbors called the police after hearing gunshots and explained they always heard frequent loud arguing between the two before the incident.

Pinar Coban won many national and international titles and it’s extremely heartbreaking to hear of such a young life taken so abruptly.
