The fickle fist of fate.
At 0430 hours Sunday morning, two Tunisians named Wassim
Tounsi (30) and İlyes L. hopped a fence and tried to enter a
5-star hotel in Manavgat, Antalya. When the two were noticed
by security guards they began to flee.
At this time, hearing the commotion, Hilmi Çelik (67), who
was working at the reception desk of the hotel next door,
came outside and tried to stop the escaping Tunisians.
Wassim Tounsi punched Çelik and jumped in a car in which
Amine H. (24) was sitting and left the scene.
As the suspects fled, Çelik fell to the ground from the effect
of the punch, hit his head on the sidewalk and died. The
Gendarmerie apprehended the suspects, who were taken to
the courthouse. Tounsi was jailed while İlyes L. and Amine H.
were released.
In his statement to police, Tounsi, whose residence in Turkey
is Bursa, "explained" that "we were pretty drunk that day. I
know İlyes L. and Amine H. from Tunisia. We used to do
acrobatic acts at hotels. That day after work I made a 200 TL
bet with İlyes L. about climbing the hotel wall as a joke. As
he tried to climb the wall the security guards saw us so we
ran toward our car. But when someone came toward us I
punched him and then we ran away."
Yesterday, Çelik's son Süleyman Çelik went to retrieve his
father's body and said "I won't let this stand. My father
worked around here for 30 years and was very beloved."
