The heartbreaking protest from the family of a 41-day-old baby who died due to pesticide spraying.

Funeral prayers were held at Alsancak Kahramanlar Mosque for Altay Toprak Kınalı, who died due to bedbug fumigation carried out on the top floor of a four-story building in Izmir.

The funeral was attended by the baby's mother, Raziye Kınalı, father, Recep Kınalı, grandfather, Mustafa Kınalı, uncle, Ramazan Kınalı, family relatives, and local residents. The Kınalı couple struggled to stand. Recep Kınalı wept as he embraced and caressed his son's coffin. Ramazan Kınalı tried to console his brother, Recep Kınalı. After the prayers, Altay Toprak's body was buried at Pınarbaşı Cemetery.

"THEY TOOK OUR LIVES"

Speaking at the funeral, Altay Toprak's grandfather, Mustafa Kınalı, said, "This cannot happen. Someone used it in one apartment, and it spread to all the flats. They took our lives. This is not the medicine they used. There is no justice like this, there is no description. They are taking people's lives. We will follow this to the end."

A PESTICIDE WAS USED

Meanwhile, it was reported that Gizem Umay, a university student living in the apartment, who was among those poisoned, is still receiving treatment in the hospital. It was stated that the authorities of the fumigation company are continuing their procedures for three suspects at the police station. It was learned that the suspects stated in their initial statements that they used agricultural pesticide in the mentioned apartment.

REMINDING OF THE DEATHS OF URAZ AND KARYA

The incident in which Altay Toprak Kınalı lost his life reminded people of the case from May 21 last year, when Inci Sandık (36) and her 6-month-old baby Uraz and 6-year-old daughter Karya died after fumigation carried out by a pest control company in their home in Bodrum, Muğla. Two people, including the owner of the company, were arrested in connection with the incident.
