A suspect in Izmir, Turkey, who had been released on judicial control after stabbing and robbing his neighbor's daughter, has been re-arrested. The decision came after the Izmir Chief Public Prosecutor's Office appealed the earlier release order.
The incident occurred on October 25, 2024, in Kemalpaลa district, where the 18-year-old suspect, ร.E.D., followed and repeatedly stabbed the 18-year-old victim, B.ร., in various parts of her body, including her face, neck, and ears. He also stole her mobile phone.
Initially, ร.E.D. was apprehended and subsequently tried. The Izmir 2nd Children's Heavy Penal Court sentenced him to 12 years for attempted intentional homicide and 6 years and 8 months for armed robbery. However, during the retrial process, the local court decided to release him under judicial control on July 7.
Following the prosecutor's objection, the court issued an arrest warrant for the suspect. He was apprehended and sent to prison to serve his sentence.
