Şakir Amca

victim

Şakir Amca, a 65-year-old local vendor in Değirmendere, Kocaeli, tragically became the victim of a brutal attack that led to his death on June 27, 2023. He was known for his presence at the local market, where he sold goods and interacted with the community. His death at the hands of a 23-year-old man, who claimed irrationally during his trial that Şakir Amca was akin to 'artificial intelligence' and had not truly died, shocked the local populace and raised significant concerns regarding violence and mental health issues in society. The case has drawn attention to the darker aspects of community safety and the legal system's handling of such severe crimes.
