It has been revealed that Abdullah Coşkun, a retired primary school teacher who lost his life due to blows received from driver İlhan İhtiyaroğlu during a fight that broke out after a traffic accident in Giresun, had overcome lung cancer with the treatment of his doctor daughter, Ayşe Coşkun Beyan, which lasted for three years. What remains of Coşkun are the photos of him celebrating moments of regaining his health with his family just days before the incident. The driver has been arrested.
The argument that started with a collision between two cars on the Giresun Black Sea Coastal Road quickly turned into a fistfight. The driver Abdullah Coşkun, who was severely injured as a result of the blows he received during the fight, could not be saved despite all interventions at the hospital he was taken to. A heartbreaking detail about Coşkun has emerged.
KILLED BY BEING BEATEN IN THE FIGHT The accident occurred on November 16 at the Karakoç Junction on the Black Sea Coastal Road in the Fındıklı neighborhood of the Keşap district. A car with the license plate 61 ADL 995, driven by İlhan İhtiyaroğlu, collided with a car with the license plate 28 ADE 196, driven by retired classroom teacher Abdullah Coşkun. After the accident, which caused damage to the vehicles, an argument broke out between the drivers. According to allegations, the argument escalated into a fistfight. Coşkun, who was injured as a result of the blows he received during the fight, collapsed to the ground. Health and police teams were dispatched to the area upon the notification of those nearby. After the initial intervention by health personnel, Abdullah Coşkun was taken to Giresun Training and Research Hospital by ambulance, but he could not be saved despite all medical interventions. The suspect driver İlhan İhtiyaroğlu was detained and, after being questioned, was arrested by the court he was brought to for the crime of 'aggravated intentional injury resulting in death.' Abdullah Coşkun, who lost his life after the fight in traffic, was buried after the funeral prayer held in the Tirebolu district.
HE HAD DEFEATED CANCER A WEEK AGO The death of retired classroom teacher Abdullah Coşkun, which saddened not only his family and relatives but also the district, revealed that he had defeated lung cancer just a week ago, thanks to the three years of treatment and efforts of his daughter, Associate Professor Dr. Ayşe Coşkun Beyan, a Chest Diseases Specialist at Dokuz Eylul University. After completing his treatment with his wife Hanife Coşkun, Abdullah Coşkun was on his way back home by car from İzmir when he was involved in the incident. The only remnants of him are the photos and videos of the moments he celebrated regaining his health with his family shortly before the incident. The footage includes joyful moments spent with his grandchildren and moments of dancing with his daughter.
"HE CONTINUED TO BEAT WITHOUT LETTING HIM BREATHE" Coşkun's wife, Hanife Coşkun, who was in the car at the time of the accident, recounted her experience as follows:
"A vehicle hit us. We heard a 'thud' sound but didn't realize what had happened. I thought a tire had burst. The vehicle that hit us cut us off from the right side. The killer got out of the vehicle. He started cursing in an unacceptable manner and kicking the car. He also punched the driver's side. My husband opened the window. Just as he was about to ask, 'What's happening?', he punched my husband on the eyebrow. He opened the car door and pulled my husband out. I clung to my husband's arm. My husband has a medical history. I tried to explain to the killer that he had just defeated cancer. He pulled my husband out of the vehicle and started beating him with kicks and punches. I watched their struggle from the car window. My husband had locked the car, so I couldn't get out. At that moment, there were only the two of them. Trucks were passing by. He continued to beat him without letting him breathe. Citizens who came helped me get out of the car. He kicked my husband all over. I said, 'Why are you kicking so much, are you a monster, a murderer?' He got angry and swung a punch at me, so I stepped back. He grabbed me by the collar, shook me, and threw me down. I said, 'My knees are prosthetic.' We begged the man again. By that time, my husband was long gone. I saw a big wound on his head, and blood was flowing. This incident should serve as a lesson; everyone should see. I told my husband not to get out. I tore his raincoat. He kicked him in the heart. After what I saw, I lost consciousness."
"I WANT JUSTICE" Chest Diseases Specialist Ayşe Coşkun Beyan also expressed her desire for justice for her father, stating, "I am both his daughter and his doctor. We created a miracle in lung cancer for three years. We did his screening a week ago, and he had nothing left. They were coming home joyfully. My father was a retired teacher who never harmed an ant. He was so affectionate that he would sit in his children's laps and teach them. Despite my mother begging, 'This man is sick,' the killer continued to hit him brutally. Even after my father fell to the ground, he continued to kick him. He dragged my mother. We want justice. This killer should not be allowed on the streets or among people. We are all in danger because of these kinds of people. I will never give up on this matter. Such brutality and savagery cannot be tolerated. You do not kick a dead person. He hit my father in the car, opened the door, dragged him out, beat him to death, and even kicked his corpse. My father defeated cancer, but he could not defeat the killer. We will follow up on this matter," she said.
Coşkun's son, Dentist Emrah Coşkun, stated, "In the incident that occurred at the exit of Keşap, the attacker first hit the back of the car. He cut off the front, got out of the car, and started punching the windows. When my father lowered the window to talk, he punched him. When my father opened the door to understand what was happening, he pulled him out and dragged him to the other side of the vehicle and assaulted him. Unfortunately, we lost my father there. We do not know the person. My father had cancer but had recovered. He was a chronic heart patient. My father overcame his illnesses, defeated cancer, but unfortunately could not defeat this killer," he said.
