A 29-year-old man with schizophrenia and intellectual disability, Mert P., was sentenced to eight years in prison and mandatory psychiatric treatment after brutally stabbing a 76-year-old woman 17 times in broad daylight—shocking a village already shaken by his prior institutional history. The attack, which occurred as she returned from a pedicure with a 19cm knife, was described as cold-blooded and unprovoked. Though he had been granted temporary leave from the psychiatric facility where he was receiving forced treatment, experts couldn’t confirm full mental incapacity, but the court proceeded under the assumption of partial incapacitation. His delusional belief that the attack would make him feel better added chilling context to a crime that has left the community reeling.
