(Hürriyet Newspaper, 31 December 2024)

"Good fences make good neighbors" - difficult to do

in an apartment building.

In Antalya, Serhan Kaynar (52), who lives on the 4th floor of

an apartment building (and whose surname means "boiling"), 

previously threatened his upstairs neighbor Tezcan K. (36), 

saying "I'll throw a Molotov cocktail at your house and burn it 

down!".  On 7 October, Kaynar poured paint thinner at Tezcan 

hanım's doorstep and lit it.  Kaynar fled but was taken into 

custody by police and jailed - only to be released two months 

later (!). 

On 27 December, Kaynar put together an electrical 

contraption with nails on a 2-meter-long board (!) and waited

with it for Tezcan hanım to come to her home.   Wondering

when she would arrive, Kaynar slyly asked the building's

superintendent to call her  and in reply Tezcan hanım said

she would be home in an hour. 

Serhan bey hopes to patent his contraption...when

he get out of jail.

At about 10 o'clock that night, when Tezcan hanım came

home Kaynar attacked her with his contraption, with one

of its electrified nails contacting and wounding Tezcan

hanım on her chest.  She screamed and as neighbors came

to her aid, Kaynar fled but was again taken into custody

by police. 

Kaynar confessed and "explained" that "I didn't know my

upstairs neighbor previously - I first met her at the police

station two months ago after I set her front door on fire

with paint thinner (!).  I made a decision to kill her.  Since

I don't have any money, I made a contraption with cables

I'd collected, wrapped them around a board on which I 

put nails, with an electrical plug on the other end of the

board.  I thought that the electrified nails would kill the

woman so I hit her with the contraption on her chest. She

screamed and I thought the neighbors would lynch me

so I fled to my own home and waited for the police."

Kaynar was jailed for premeditated attempted murder. 

Tezcan hanım lamented that "When he attacked me I

pressed the "KADES" button (app for women to 

summon police) and the police came.  I live with my

daughter and my niece. He thought that since there was

no man here he could terrorize us."
