In Antalya, legal proceedings have progressed regarding the death of Hatice Temel following a sexual assault in the Korkuteli district. An indictment initially sought aggravated life imprisonment for 74-year-old Ş. E., who was accused of assaulting Temel after she entered his home to visit a friend. Forensic reports established that the physical stress of the attack triggered a cardiac arrest in the victim, who had pre-existing cardiovascular disease.

In a subsequent court development, the Antalya 4. High Criminal Court sentenced Şükrü Ece to aggravated life imprisonment for the assault and beating. The court denied any discretionary reductions in the sentence. Recent reports confirm the verdict follows the determination of a causal link between the stress and physical exertion of the assault and the victim's fatal cardiovascular complications.
