18-year-old Ensar Sezgin lost his life in a stabbing attack that occurred yesterday evening in Fatih, Istanbul. The suspect, S.T.A., who fled the scene after the incident, was apprehended and taken into custody by police teams in a short time.

The incident took place on İlyaszade Street in the Seyyid Ömer neighborhood. According to allegations, an argument broke out between S.T.A. and his friend Ensar Sezgin. During the argument, S.T.A. claimed that his mother had been insulted and stabbed Sezgin in the heart.

Metehan Kemal Usta, one of the neighborhood residents, stated that police teams were working in the area following the incident, saying, "The murder was committed because his mother was insulted. I mean, it is a very terrible situation. Police teams were continuing their work at the scene. When I was leaving the apartment, police teams were waiting at the door."

Another neighborhood resident pointed out the need for security cameras in the area, stating, "Security cameras are a must here. The police looked for cameras in the evening but could not find any. It is a very bad incident. It is a pity for the young people; the other one's life is ruined too."
