Two suspects detained as part of the investigation into the fatal stabbing of 15-year-old Mattia Ahmet Minguzzi in Kadıköy have been sent to the courthouse.

The processing of the suspects, M.A.D. and A.Ö., who are under the age of 18 and were apprehended as a result of work carried out by the Public Security Bureau teams, has been completed at the Kadıköy District Police Department's Juvenile Bureau.

M.A.D. and A.Ö. were escorted to the Anatolian Courthouse by police.

WHAT HAD HAPPENED?

A dispute had occurred on January 24 between Mattia Ahmet Minguzzi, who had gone to the market in Hasanpaşa Neighborhood with his friends to buy skateboard equipment, and B.B. and U.B. Minguzzi, who wanted to leave the market, was stabbed by B.B., while U.B. kicked Minguzzi after he fell to the ground.

Minguzzi, who was seriously injured, was taken to the hospital, while the two suspects who fled were arrested after being caught.

Minguzzi was admitted to the intensive care unit at the hospital but passed away on February 9.

As a result of the investigation conducted by the Anatolian Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, a lawsuit was filed against U.B., who kicked Minguzzi, and B.B., who stabbed him, demanding prison sentences of 18 to 24 years each for the crime of "intentional killing of a child."

In the expert report prepared regarding the footage of the incident sent to the Anatolian 2nd Juvenile High Criminal Court, where the trial is ongoing, findings were included regarding the presence of two more suspects with B.B. and U.B. both before and after Minguzzi was stabbed.
