The 19-year-old suspect who killed Prosecutor Ercan Kayhan in a restaurant located in Çekmeköy, Istanbul, has been arrested.
The stabbing death of Prosecutor Ercan Kayhan, who was working at the Justice Palace in Çağlayan, shocked the country; meanwhile, a significant development occurred.
ADMITTED THE CHARGES
The 19-year-old suspect Mustafa Can G., who was caught at the scene and taken into custody, was transferred to the Anadolu Courthouse after his procedures at the gendarmerie. Mustafa Can G. admitted to the charges against him.
DESCRIBED THE MURDER
In his statement, the suspect Mustafa Can Gül said that he had known Prosecutor Kayhan for 10 years and claimed that Kayhan had beaten him several times during the periods he worked with him.
Gül, who stated that he had a certain amount of money owed to him within the business, said, "I went to get my remaining money, I first went to Bilal B., who was standing in the buffet, and asked for my remaining money. Before Bilal could say anything, Ercan Kayhan entered, pushed me, and started saying 'stop, don't do it.'
At that moment, I wasn't doing anything to anyone, but when he pushed me, I started to push him back. A struggle broke out between us, and during the chaos, we both tried to reach for the knife on the table. At that moment, the knife went back and forth between his hand and mine; when the knife came into my hand, I acted first and swung it towards his abdomen, but it didn't hit. During the struggle, we went outside the buffet, and again during the struggle, I instinctively stabbed the knife into his neck as a self-defense instinct," he said.
COURT RENDERED ITS DECISION
After his statement to the prosecutor's office, the suspect, who was referred to the Anadolu 8th Peace Criminal Court with a request for arrest, was arrested for the crime of 'killing with monstrous feelings or inflicting torture.'
