On September 3rd, in Çekmeköy, Istanbul, 19-year-old Mustafa Can Gül stabbed prosecutor Ercan Kayhan, who was dining at a restaurant in Ömerli Neighborhood with individuals he had a past feud with. Despite all the interventions by health teams, the severely injured Kayhan died at the scene. Gül, who was found to have a criminal record for various offenses, was arrested by the court he was brought before.
Former Çukurova Mayor Soner Çetin, who was a university friend of prosecutor Ercan Kayhan, spoke out.
"HE HAD SAID, 'GO TO VOCATIONAL SCHOOL, HAVE A GOLDEN BRACELET'"
According to a report by Türkiye Gazetesi, Soner Çetin stated that he acted as a father figure to prosecutor Kayhan's killer, saying, "Ercan, about three years ago, told the suspect Mustafa Can Gül, who started working there, 'Let's enroll you in a school, go to a vocational school for motors. Have a profession, have a golden bracelet. You can't make it just by being a waiter.'"
"HE HAD RAIDED THE RESTAURANT AND BROKEN THE GLASS FRAME"
Çetin stated that the suspect Gül had previously raided the restaurant and broken the glass frame, saying, "Later, when the restaurant owner realized that that person was using drugs, he terminated his employment. After that, he came several times, even attempted to raid the restaurant, and when he was not allowed inside, he broke the glass and the frame. His family intervened and pleaded with him. The feud he mentioned must have been due to his dismissal from work."

Kayhan's son and daughter wept for a long time at the head of the coffin. After the funeral prayer, prosecutor Kayhan was sent off on his final journey with prayers.
