Police in Kayseri, Turkey, have arrested two 18-year-old suspects in connection with a fatal stabbing and robbery that occurred early Monday morning. The incident took place in the Sahabiye neighborhood of Kocasinan district. According to reports, the two suspects, identified as E.T. and B.K., allegedly attacked two individuals, S.M. and N.M., who were walking on the street. The assailants used pepper spray and knives, robbing them of a mobile phone before fleeing the scene. Police and medical teams were dispatched after bystanders reported the assault.
