A man fatally shot his former spouse in a shocking incident at a hospital, causing distress among onlookers. Surveillance footage captured the perpetrator, Atilla Ayintapli, concealing a shotgun in a bag as he entered a private medical facility in Turkey. Inside, he pursued his ex-partner, Eser Karaca, who attempted to evade him along with a coworker. Despite their efforts to escape, Ayintapli caught up with them, brandishing the weapon.
Witnesses fled in fear as the scene unfolded, culminating in Ayintapli cornering Eser and firing multiple shots at her. After the brutal act, he callously fired additional rounds before fleeing on foot, leaving the victim’s body behind. Prior to the tragic event, Eser had sought legal protection through a restraining order against her violent ex-husband but was tragically killed before it could be served.
Following a swift police operation, Ayintapli was apprehended and subsequently admitted to the crime. This incident adds to the concerning trend of femicide cases in Turkey. In a separate case, Serkan Dindar was involved in a fatal altercation with Ceyda Yüksel, resulting in her death in Izmir. The confrontation escalated, leading to a violent attack that claimed Ceyda’s life, prompting police intervention.
