Ebru (35) was the only one to survive the robbery murder of her fiancé’s family: “The bullet exploded in my head, a few centimeters from my brain”

She should have died too. After three money-hungry gangsters murdered her fiancé Nicolas and his parents – lawyer Michel De Vleeschouwer and his wife – in their house in Wemmel, Ebru Yüksel (35) was also shot in the head. Thirteen years later, Ebru talks about the horror and its consequences for the first time. “I heard the order to shoot me, felt a dull pain in my head and thought: ‘Why am I still breathing?’”
