On March 5, Damla Korkmaz, who was walking on İsmet İnönü Boulevard in the Atakum district of Samsun, was verbally harassed by Sinan A. Aladağ then assaulted Korkmaz, who did not respond to him.
2 FRACTURES ON HER FACE
Police and medical teams were dispatched to the scene upon the notification of bystanders. After the intervention of the medical team, Korkmaz was taken to the hospital for treatment. It was determined that Damla Korkmaz had 2 fractures on her face as a result of the assault.
HE WAS ARRESTED
The teams from the Atakum Crime Prevention and Investigation Bureau, which initiated an investigation into the incident, captured Sinan Aladağ on March 7. The suspect, who has 12 criminal records, was arrested by the court he was brought to after his procedures at the police station.
PLATE WAS INSERTED IN HER FACE
Damla Korkmaz underwent surgery at the Plastic Surgery Department of Ondokuz Mayıs University Medical Faculty Hospital. After a plate was inserted in her face, Korkmaz was discharged after 8 days of treatment.
FIRST HEARING WAS HELD
With the indictment prepared by the Samsun Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, a case was filed against Sinan Aladağ at the 17th Criminal Court of First Instance for 'insult', 'attempted sexual offense', and 'intentional injury'. Sinan Aladağ, who was in custody, connected to the hearing via SEGBİS from Samsun Type T Closed Prison. The victim, Damla Korkmaz, was also present in the courtroom.
HIS DEFENSE MADE PEOPLE SAY 'GIVE UP': I HIT AS A REFLEX
The defendant Sinan A. stated in his defense, "My only intention was to ask for directions. I hit reflexively because the victim hit me, I apologize to her, I am very sorry." The defendant's lawyer Burhan Kılınç said, "My client approached only to ask for directions. After the unjust provocation of the victim, he accidentally caused injury by pushing him from his shoulder. The allegations regarding insult and attempted sexual offense were prepared based solely on the victim's statements. There is no evidence other than abstract statements. We request the acquittal of my client," he said.
HE WAS RELEASED
In court, it was stated, "Although there are concrete facts indicating the strong suspicion of the defendant committing the alleged crimes, due to the defendant's sincere confession of his crime and the absence of any evidence that could be tampered with, there is no longer any reason for detention, and considering that the potential penalty to be imposed in the future may not justify detention, the defendant was released and the judicial control measures against him were lifted," and the hearing was adjourned.
SHE FAINTED IN THE COURTROOM
After the decision, Damla Korkmaz fainted in the courtroom. After she calmed down, she stated that she did not request an ambulance and left the courthouse.
