(28), who had lain in ambush, survived after staying in the hospital for 10 days, two of them intubated. The attacker, against whom a case was filed seeking 21 years in prison, will appear before a judge on November 17. Sezer said, 'I want him to receive the heaviest punishment, both for myself and for all women.'
Nurseli Sezer (27), who was attacked with a knife by a stranger in front of her home in Adana, came back from the brink of death, and those moments were captured second by second. The young woman, who was seriously injured by 8 stab wounds to her body and came back from death after being intubated, wanted justice to be served ahead of the upcoming trial.
The incident occurred on June 8 in Gürselpaşa Neighborhood of the central Seyhan district. According to the allegation, Ramazan S. (28) lay in ambush in front of the home of Nurseli Sezer, for whom he had a platonic love. Seeing the young woman come home, the attacker first hugged Nurseli and then stabbed her 8 times in various parts of her body with the knife he had with him and fled. Those moments were recorded second by second by a security camera. The young woman, who was stabbed in the neck, head, lung, shoulder and arm, received first aid from her doctor neighbor and was then taken to the hospital.
Nurseli Sezer, who stayed in the hospital for a total of 10 days, including 2 days intubated, was later discharged.
WHEN I SAW HER, I HUGGED HER AND WOUNDED HER WITH A KNIFE
Meanwhile, teams affiliated with the Seyhan District Police Department, who launched an operation to catch the attacker, caught the suspect Ramazan S. shortly after the incident and took him into custody. In the statement of the detained suspect, he was reported to have said, 'I am platonically in love with her, I have been following her for 1 week. I learned from her social media which gym she goes to; I had unrequited feelings for her. On the day of the incident, I went to the area near her home and started waiting. I had a knife with me that I had obtained earlier. When I saw her, I hugged her and wounded her with the knife.'
The attacker was arrested by the duty court to which he was referred and sent to prison.
THE INDICTMENT WAS PREPARED, THE TRIAL IS ON NOVEMBER 17
On the other hand, a lawsuit was filed against Ramazan S. for 'attempted premeditated murder of a woman' with a prison sentence of 21 years. The attacker will appear before a judge at the Adana 12th Heavy Penal Court on November 17.
SHE STILL CANNOT FULLY USE HER RIGHT ARM
Speaking to journalists before the trial, Nurseli Sezer recounted the moment of the incident and said, 'I was wounded in my neck, lung, head, shoulder and arm. First I was intubated. My lungs collapsed, I went through an intensive care process. I was discharged, but my treatments are still ongoing. I cannot fully use my right arm, my lungs do not function fully. At the time of the incident, a doctor neighbor of ours gave me first aid. Maybe if he had not been there, I would have died long ago.'
Sezer said, 'He supposedly knew me from my primary school years, but I do not know him at all. If I knew him, if I knew this would happen, I would have run away. The incident happened while I was going home. I want him to receive the heaviest sentence. This decision is very important not only for me but for all women. I wish the upcoming decision to be a strong precedent showing how justice will be served regarding violence against women.'
Stating that her fears still continue although 5 months have passed since the incident, Sezer said, 'I want him to receive the heaviest sentence both for myself and for all women. I am still afraid. I could not watch the moment of the incident and I will not be able to watch it. I cannot and do not want to see either myself or any other woman in that state.'
The young woman's lawyer, Yelda Yurt Aslan, said she had full belief that the attacker would receive the heaviest sentence.
