The attacker and his son have been arrested following the stabbing of Yeni Parti MP Melih Meriç in Gaziantep, Turkey. Seydi Ahmet Keleş, 52, and his son Hakan Keleş, 24, are now in custody, while three other individuals – A.Ç., E.D., and security guard R.Ç. – were released under judicial control. Keleş stated to prosecutors that after the stabbing, he requested assistance from bystanders, urging them to call an ambulance for the wounded MP. He claims he asked passersby to “call an ambulance for the MP, for God’s sake” and then began walking home. The incident has sparked concern regarding political violence and security for Turkish politicians. Further investigation is underway to determine the full motive behind the attack.
