ISTANBUL ROCKS FOR MATTIA
Guns N' Roses pays tribute to slain teen prior to Istanbul performance
In an emotional tribute, American rock legends Guns N' Roses paid homage to 15-year-old Mattia Ahmet Minguzzi, a victim of a tragic stabbing incident in Istanbul, just days before their performance at Beşiktaş Tüpraş Stadium on June 2.
The band posted a heartfelt video dedicated to Minguzzi, set to their hit track "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," accompanied by the simple caption "Rest in Peace." The moving posting gained traction quickly, with Turkish artists expressing their support for the tribute on their own social media platforms.
Minguzzi's mother, Yasemin, responded with a touching Instagram post, sharing a video of Guns N' Roses' ballad "This I Love" and writing, "We'll be together at the Beşiktaş Tupraş Stadium, my son."
On January 24, the teen was stabbed five times in Kadıköy district by a classmate, identified as B.B., in an unprovoked attack. Another suspect, U.B., was also present, reportedly kicking Minguzzi during the assault. The victim succumbed to his injuries 15 days later in the hospital.
The legal proceedings for both juvenile suspects began on April 10, with prosecutors seeking sentences of 18 to 24 years for deliberate child murder. However, proceedings against B.B. on the charge of possessing an illegal weapon were dropped due to the knife used not meeting the legal threshold to be classified as such under Turkish law.
Tragically, the day before the trial's first hearing, Minguzzi's grave was desecrated, and the family reported receiving multiple threats since the incident. The case has sparked national outrage and a renewed debate about juvenile offender sentencing in Turkey.
