Turkey: Serbian fan murderer gets 25-year jail sentence

An Istanbul court has sentenced the suspected murderer of a Serbian basketball fan, who was stabbed to death in 2014, to 25 years in prison.

Istanbul's Bakirkoy Courthouse sentenced Monday 53-year-old Turkish national Kadri Aktas to 25-years in prison, while six other suspects in the case were acquitted.

The 25-year-old Serbian fan, Marko Ivkovic, was stabbed to death outside Istanbul’s Abdi Ipekci Arena moments before the Turkish Airlines Euroleague game between the Belgrade-based Red Star and Turkey’s Galatasaray teams began on Nov. 21.
