Former football player İbrahim Yattara's 34-year-old Guinean friend Oumar Kante, who worked in a factory in Beyoğlu, Istanbul, was stabbed to death by his roommate over a dispute regarding the order of taking a shower.
Oumar Kante (34), a Guinean working in a factory in Kasımpaşa, and his roommate I.B. were preparing to go to work around 07:00 yesterday morning. According to reports, the two friends, who had a disagreement in the bathroom, started to argue. At that moment, I.B. stabbed Oumar Kante, injuring him.
DIED
Kante, who was taken to the hospital in critical condition, could not be saved despite all interventions. While Kante's body was taken to the Forensic Medicine Institution, it was learned that his friend, former football player İbrahim Yattara, came to the Forensic Medicine Institution to assist with the funeral procedures. The suspect I.B. was captured and taken into custody.
'I'M SORRY'
İbrahim Yattara said, "There is nothing to say, I am sad. I really don't want to talk much. Because I am Guinean. If a Guinean takes the life of another Guinean, I cannot accept this. That's why I don't want to talk much," he said.
"HE WAS WORKING IN A FACTORY"
The friend of the murdered Omar Kante said, "Omar Kante was a very close friend of mine. Yesterday morning, he had an argument with his roommate while going to work. When he was about to take a shower, he wanted to take the bathroom first, and the other wanted it for himself. They fought over that. Then the guy went inside, took his bag, and while going to work, he took a knife and killed him. We came to see him now. He was working in a factory in Istanbul. We are very sad because he was really a very close friend of ours. We have been very close friends since Guinea. The funeral is not certain, it may be in Turkey or it may be in Guinea. We are in contact with his family, we will decide and see," he said.
