Mattia Ahmet Minguzzi: Son of celebrity chef Andrea Minguzzi dies aged 14 two weeks after being stabbed in Istanbul market

Victim Mattia Ahmet Minguzzi, whose dad is former US ambassadorial chef Andrea Minguzzi, has passed away in hospital after suffering wounds to his heart, lungs and kidney, according to reports.

Mattia was stabbed five times as he shopped with pals in Istanbul's Kadikoy market in Turkey at around 8.24 am on January 24.

Moments earlier a 15-year-old boy had been harassing Mattia who tried to defuse the confrontation saying: "Sorry, bro."

Just seconds later his attacker is seen in horrific CCTV footage as he runs back towards Mattia brandishing a knife and reportedly shouting: "I am not your bro."

While Mattia's back is turned, his attacker plunges the knife into his body again and again and keeps stabbing him when he turns around. As the knifeman turns to flee, a second attacker runs up and kicks helpless Mattia to the ground as the clip ends.

A female doctor shopping at the market kept Mattia alive with CPR and first aid until paramedics arrived and rushed him to Goztepe City Hospital.

Turkish police say the two attackers, named only as 15-year-old knifeman BB and 16-year-old UB were arrested and are in custody. Both have criminal records, according to reports.

Mattia is the son of internationally acclaimed Italian chef Andrea Minguzzi and celebrated classical cellist Yasemin Akincilar.

Horrified dad Andrea, who is the chef at the French Consulate in Turkey, took to social media to say at the time: "He had asked his mother for money and permission to go out. They wanted to buy skateboard parts and clothing. At the flea market, imported items sell out early, so they went in the morning."

After more than two weeks, the boy died on Sunday morning, February 9. Reports in Italy and Turkey say that Mattia, a first-year student at the Italian High School in Istanbul, had been braindead for two days.
