The death toll in the collapse of the 11-storey Zumrut building in Konya, rose to 48. According to the Konya Governor there are still 85 people under debris. 5 dead bodies extracted yesterday morning were hugging each other. This picture upset everyone.

Meanwhile, the new Turkish Penal Law (TCK), which is still pending, increases the punishment, that will be given in the cases of death because of weak buildings. Both contractors and the authorities responsible for controlling the building will receive prison sentences of 20-25 years in such cases.

However, at the moment, the gravest prison sentence that Ali Vedat Kaya and Ismail Canlier, the contractors of the Zumrut building, will receive is 5 years.
