In the Kepez district of Antalya, a horrific attack took place just one day after the perpetrator was released from prison. Muhammet Mustafa D. (46) stabbed his ex-girlfriend Züleyha K. (36) and her boyfriend Uğur D. (44) before fleeing the scene.

The incident occurred around 16:00 on the ground floor of a 3-story apartment building in the Güneş neighborhood, when Muhammet Mustafa D., who had recently been released from prison, went to the home where his ex-girlfriend Züleyha K. lived. Züleyha K. and her boyfriend Uğur D. opened the door together. Upon seeing his ex-girlfriend and her boyfriend, D. attacked the pair with a knife he pulled from his pocket.

During the attack, Züleyha K. and Uğur D. collapsed to the ground covered in blood after being struck by successive knife blows, while police and medical teams were dispatched to the scene following reports from neighbors. The attacker, Muhammet Mustafa D., fled the scene rapidly.
