Tea pots don't scald people. People scald people.
A mechanic in the Tekkeköy district of Samsun was arrested after
pouring a teapot full of hot tea onto a customer, causing burns, during a
dispute over payment for vehicle repairs at a kiosk on Kutlukent
Boulevard in the Şabanoğlu Neighborhood.
According to reports, Kazım K. (65) took his vehicle to an auto repair
shop owned by İ.K. (49) in April. Kazım K. paid 13,000 liras when
he picked up his vehicle.
However (!), upon discovering through subsequent research that he had
been charged 4,500 liras more than required, Kazım K. contacted the
business owner, İ.K., to request a refund of the excess amount. When
this proved unsuccessful, he applied to the Consumer Arbitration
Committee.
A dispute over money broke out yesterday between the parties who
encountered each other at the kiosk opposite the repair shop. As the
argument escalated, İ.K. poured a teapot containing hot tea over
Kazım K. and subsequently assaulted him.
Charged with using hot tea as a weapon.
The injured Kazım K. was taken to the Burn Center at Samsun City
Hospital by medical teams arriving at the scene and placed under
treatment. I.K., who was detained by the police, was referred to the
Samsun Courthouse today. Brought before the duty court, the suspect
was arrested and sent to Samsun T-Type Closed Prison.
