A TEENAGE apprentice has died after co-workers allegedly restrained him and forced a high-pressure air compressor into his bum as a so-called “joke.”
Muhammed Kendirci, 15, was allegedly tackled by coworker Habip Aksoy and an unidentified friend, before having his hands bound at the workshop in Bozova, Sanliurfa, Turkey.
The thugs then forcibly removed his trousers before inserting the compressor into his backside, it’s claimed.
Kendirci’s intestines were immediately shattered causing injuries that ultimately took the boy’s life on November 19, five excruciating days after the assault.
Emergency services rushed the boy to Bozova Mehmet Enver Yildirim State Hospital before transferring him to Balikligol State Hospital.
A third move placed him in Harran University Research and Application Hospital, where doctors confirmed severe internal organ damage.
The final five days of his life were spent in the intensive care unit.
Aksoy was arrested after police opened an investigation.
He was first released under judicial supervision, but that ruling was overturned on appeal.
A detention warrant was then issued, he was arrested again, and this time the court ordered him to be held in custody.
The investigation is still underway, but this is not the first case in which high-pressure air hoses have caused catastrophic – and sometimes fatal – injuries.
A Japanese factory worker died after his workmate shoved an air hose up his backside and ripped his insides to shreds over the weekend.
Yoshiyuki Yoshida, 34, caused the accidental death of his co-worker Akio Ishimaru, 46, back in 2018.
The men were messing around at a manufacturing plant in Ibaraki Tsukuba City when Yoshida grabbed the air compressor, police said.
He is then believed to have shoved it into his colleague, injecting his body with a powerful and lethal blast of air.
A few minutes later, Ishimaru complained that he was not feeling too well, the Asia Times reported.
They called an ambulance which rushed him to hospital but he died from his internal injuries.
Another such incident, also in 2018, resulted in the death of another factory worker in Delhi, India.
The 40-year-old victim, named only as Ravinder, was attacked at a plywood manufacturing plant by Anjan Misra, who had been given a job at the factory after Ravinder recommended him.
Local media reported that he had been regularly bullied for wearing tattered clothes.

The powerful air compressor is used to cut through blocks of wood.
