based solely on the prosecutor's wife's story, my explanation is that the man committed suicide after knowing who his son's father was. he does this as a form of punishment to his wife and brother. there's one scene where the doctor says all suicides are done to punish somebody else.
shareInteresting theory, however, when they're digging up the body, Ramazan (the other suspect) says "I'm the one who killed Yasar." Kenan looks at him angrily and replies "Shut the *beep* up. Moron."
It's obvious that Ramazan is, at least, a bit slow, and that Kenan is taking the rap for him.
'88
So why did Kesar and Ramazan dispose of his body and Kesar confess to murderng him?
shareIt would be very hard to commit suicide by blunt trauma to the head/brain. Further, he was hog-tied in the grave and still barely alive. You can't tie yourself up like that. So, did they know he was still alive when they got rid of the body?
Killing happened, but are we close to the REASON that someone did it, and WHO did it?
I think Yasar did do it like he said, in a freakish fury over 'something'; but Kenan takes the rap, of course. But, why did he get killed?
Perhaps he found out that Kenan had fathered a son with his wife and attacked him and Kenan and his brother killed him (or at least thought they did) in the ensuing fight? That would explain the wound on Kenan's face (assuming the police didn't do that during his interrogation).
I used to want to change the world. Now I just want to leave the room with a little dignity.
A reasonable thought, except for the looks on the wife's face when they brought Kenan back to the Station. 'If looks could kill . . .' as they say.
shareThis is exactly how I feel about it. They were drinking as friends. Probably talking about old times. At some point Kenan let slip that the kid was his, or perhaps mentioned something that led to them putting it together. Yasar attacked Kenan (the cuts on his face), and Kenan's simple brother clubbed Yasar round the head to save his brother, killing Yasar (seemingly).
Why was he hog tied? To fit in the trunk. Not because Kenan is a serial killer or sadist (as we may have assumed early in the film), but for purely logical reasons. Perhaps as a rural man Kenan was familiar with tying up hogs as he may well have owned or butchered his own livestock.
Not wanting his brother to take the rap (as he had sworn to his sick mother that he would take care of his brother) Kenan decides to hide the body. When they are caught, he takes the fall.
Yasars wife gives Kenan a death stare because she thinks he murdered Yasar in cold blood, possibly out of jealousy. She doesn't know what happened between the three men.
My take is that Kenan is only guilty of trying to cover up an accident to save his brother, and then takes the fall for his brother. I don't think he had any homicidal instinct at any point. The live burial was a horrible oversight.
The doctor knows that news of the live burial would not help anyone, it would only hurt people, so he omits it.

"Knowing how the world works
Is not knowing how to work the world"
I'll expose my take on the subject...
-Kenan says at some point in the movie that he promised to take care of Ramazan.
-Ramazan confessed rather vaguely that he was responsible for Yasar's death.
-Yasar was found hog tied and with his pants down and no underwear, to what an officer comments, "he was going around ready for action".
-Kenan isn't pictured as a bad person but rather an unfortunate soul who is used to suffer in silence.
-Yasar was buried alive, Kenan assumed that he died when he was hit in the head and passed out obviously.
-Kenan is asked why he tied Yasar in such a way, and he replies... "he didn't fit in the trunk", such intricate or complicated ropework isn't used for such simple tasks.
Revising the entrance scene I notice that all 3 of them are having some time together, something that doesn't look out of the ordinary, definitely not the first time... indicating that they have been doing this as friends for some time now.
Now, call me sick, but this is how I put it all together.
After drinking Raki, Kenan fell asleep and Yasar started to abuse Ramazan (something that perhaps had been happening for some time), considering that he was hogtied in a way that is used for "auto erotic stimulation" (http://www.boundanna.com/html/en_tech_alternativehogtie.html), he was perhaps using the "help" of Ramazan when Kenan discovers this.
In the heat of the moment Kenan hit Yasar in the head and thought to have actually killed him, then tried to bury him to escape from prosecution... however guilt wouldn't allow him to carry on and decided to give himself up, throughout the movie, perhaps, we can see how he was afraid of seeing what he did, or it could be, as mentioned earlier, he was ready to confess for a crime he didn't commit after seeing that beautiful girl handing the tea... to which I don't see much use since he had already confessed he committed a crime and never denied it, they were looking for a body, but even if they didn't find the body the person would be missing.
If we put all the pieces together I think that explains the WHY to the crime. Please comment on how wrong I am!
I am fascinated with both chubbykipper and richymx-257-895714's theories on the crime. Both seem entirely plausible. My take was that the dead man was an abusive bastard, who found out somehow that his wife's child was not his son - but the son of Kenan. He went over to confront Kenan and attacked him (hence the cuts on the face), and Kenan's mentally challenged brother cracked the dude on the head. They hog-tied and buried the dude, and then Kenan does his best to keep his brother out of it (because essentially Kenan caused the whole thing). Interestingly enough; I did not interpret her crying over the corpse as anything but relief. The dude wore no underpants because he was screwing anything in town. For me, the doctor looking at her out the window, was seeing her and the boy set free from her bastard husband. I love that there are at least 2 other 'versions' of the story that can be interpreted from the information we are given. That, for me, is the sign of a great film. Bravo!
shareHe tied and buried himself. Yeah right. I'm not sure if you're serious or trolling but i gotta tell you, you got a very incorrect way of interpreting a plot. This part of the plot was not even up for an interpretation.
