(Hürriyet Newspaper, 30 April 2024)














Killer and murder weapon.  TIR's "Maşallah" feature, 
meant to ward off the evil eye, was evidently out of order.

On 20 October 2023 in Istanbul's Sancaktepe district, Sezgin Açık (23),
hooked on drugs, boarded a TIR (tractor-trailer) at his father's company
in Paşaköy.  He phoned his parents and asked them to come get him. 
However, when the father, İbrahim Halil Açık, arrived and tried to apply
the emergency brake his son resisted aggressively, speeding away and
hitting his parent's car in the process. 

İbrahim bey alerted the police and six of them, including Lütfü Baykar
(53) of the Maltepe police group, tried to stop the rampaging TIR driven
by Sezgin Açık.  The police were hit by the TIR, resulting in Baykar's
death and injuries sustained by other policemen.  As Sezgin Açık 
continued his TIR rampage, other policemen shot out the tires but to
no avail, as the TIR hit four more cars and a taxi.  Finally, after hitting
three more cars in Ataşehir, Sezgin Açık's terror drive ended and he
was jailed.  

The public prosecutor has asked for a sentence of from 17 to 39.5 years
for Sezgin Açık.
