In the Tarsus district of Mersin, a person shot and killed a 13-year-old child with a shotgun, injured his cousin, and then set his car on fire before committing suicide.
KILLED THE CHILD WHO CAME TO BUY BREAD
The incident occurred this morning in the square of the Sarıveli neighborhood, located 25 kilometers away from the district center. According to reports, 59-year-old Yasin Ataş, who had psychological issues and lived alone, parked his car, set it on fire, and went out into the street with a shotgun. At that moment, Ataş opened fire on his cousins Emir Ali Aktaş (13) and Mustafa Aktaş (20), who were getting into a vehicle with the license plate 33 BBZ 280 after buying bread from the grocery store, and then shot himself. Upon seeing the situation, bystanders called for help, and health and gendarmerie teams were dispatched to the scene. The teams determined that Emir Ali and the suspect Ataş had lost their lives. The injured Aktaş was taken to the district state hospital by ambulance.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD DID NOT ALLOW THE KILLER'S BODY TO BE TAKEN IN THE SAME VEHICLE
After the work of the Regional Gendarmerie Crime Scene Investigation teams and the prosecutor's examination, a funeral vehicle arrived to take the bodies away. While the funeral vehicle tried to put both bodies in one vehicle, local residents objected. As a result, the child's body was first taken to the vehicle and transported to the morgue. The body of the perpetrator, which remained on the ground for about another hour, was sent to the morgue for autopsy with the second vehicle that arrived.
WENT TO THE COFFEE SHOP IN THE MORNING AND HAD BREAKFAST
Meanwhile, it was learned that the person who killed one of the cousins, injured the other, and committed suicide had come to the coffee shop in the morning, bought pastries for breakfast, and then set his own car on fire to carry out the incident.
