Crimes

On April 20, 1985, Ayhan Korniş killed the 13-year-old Armağan Kayadipli by strangling him after he raped him in the İkiçeşmelik quarter of Kemeraltı district in Izmir.[1][2][3][4][5][6] He was placed in a mental hospital in Bakırköy, Istanbul,[5] and was released following about one-year long psychiatric treatment.[1][2][3][4][6] He changed his surname from Korniş to Kartal.[1][4]

On September 23, 1989, Kartal raped and killed the 9-year-old boy Barış Kurt in Şirinyer, Izmir.[1][2][3][4][5][6] He was apprehended while he was hiding in a chest at his home at Pınarbaşı, Bornova in Izmir.[1][2][4]

In 1992, Kartal was transferred to Manisa Psychiatric Hospital for the diagnosis and treatment of his mental disorder.[1][2][3][4][5][6] He escaped from the hospital on October 14, 1993, but was apprehended after a while in Izmir, and brought back to the hospital.[1][4] He confessed to the authorities that "he feels himself close to children, and he can have intercourse with children only".[1][2][4] He was nicknamed "The Beast of Izmir" (Turkish: İzmir Canavarı).[1]

Death

In the mental hospital, Kartal was afraid of the serial killer Süleyman Aktaş, nicknamed "The Nailing Killer" (Turkish: Çivici katil), with whom he shared the same ward.[6] After a while, he was relocated to another ward following his request.[6] In the night of March 13, 2000, Kartal was stabbed once in the throat and three times in the stomach by his two roommates,[5] the serial killer Ali Kaya (23), nicknamed "The Babyface Killer",[7] and Tayfun Şahin (32), in the 17-people hospital ward.[1][2][3][4][6] The physician on duty found him with wounds in blood, and arranged his transfer to an emergency station after persuading and passivating the two offenders.[1] Kartal died underway.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
