Learning to live with the bullet in my brain

BBC World Service - Outlook, Learning to live with the bullet in my brain

Mutlu Kaya has forgiven the bullet that took her voice, but not the man who fired it

Mutlu Kaya has learned to forgive the bullet that ended her singing career; but she will never forgive the man who fired it.

In 2015 Mutlu Kaya reached the finals of a leading talent show on Turkish TV, Sesi Çok Güzel. Her voice had wowed audiences, but days before her performance in the final, Mutlu was shot by a man who had been threatening and following her. Since then, she has lived with a bullet in her brain. This is the story of her survival.
