       Killer was "just out shopping" at 5 in the morning.

In Beyoğlu, Istanbul, yesterday at about 5 o'clock in the morning, 
American tourist Leonard Samuel Record, who came to Istanbul 20
days ago, was walking along the street with a friend when someone
from a group of youths coming in the opposite direction bumped into 
him on purpose.  As Record tried to move away, the members of the
group of youths began to kick and punch him. 

In the course of the attack, one of the youths stabbed Record in the 
calf of his leg.  An ambulance arrived and Record was taken to a 
hospital, where, despite all efforts, he died.  Meanwhile, the group
of youths fled.  Police reviewed video footage and saw that after 
fleeing on foot the attackers got into a taxi .

Police tracked down Ferhat Kavdır, E.A., M.K.O. and T.D. and took
them into custody.  Three of them were released on judicial control and
Kavdır was taken to jail.
