When the alternative to the throne is the bowstring, that provides a much stronger incentive for fratricidal strife, harem intrigue (nobody wants their sons killed), etc.
 
Sadly,There is no record of Ahmet's childs,and wife. (Selim I eliminates them,I believe,since the populace of the Empire at that time is more "I like Ahmet" than "I like selim")

Would he kill a wife and any daughter(s)? The bowstring-policy IIRC was applied to sons. There are references to the concubines of previous sultans left to mourn their children in some faraway palace, so unless there were concerns they were pregnant, IIRC they were generally left alone.
 
It all just a Dream. After 2 months claiming the throne,Ahmet's life is..near complete.Today,he will attend the departure of his Nephew,Suleiman.

Since Ahmet is still dating someone,a lady named Dilara Althoush,He comes to the Departure alone with his guards.

Ahmet,now Crowned as Sultan Ahmet I,wears his Imperial clothes,and then exits the Palace,and heads to the Harbor.

Cheers of the People filled the air,with Ex-Byzantium Greece Slaves kneeling,asking for redemption and freedom.Ahmet Keeps walking,and finally,met his Nephew.

Ahmet Successfully turned the Populace on the Kingdom to hate Suleyman,deeming Suleyman as a Traitor.While the Crowd are Yelling,booing,curses at the remaining of Selim's Family,Ahmet Converses with Suleyman.

"Morning nephew! Do you felt the Populace is a Little bit odd? I only can say Goodbye."

"Uncle,Your acts will soon pays in a Punishment."

"YOUR FATHER,IS THE DEVIL!"

Sulayman and his family hurried themselves to their ship,and Departs.
Ahmet Calmly heads to the Harbor defenses,takes control of the Greek Fire Turrets...and..
Shoots Suleyman's Ship,Burning the exiled prince alive,ending Selim's Bloodline.
