Turkey's Eskişehir public prosecutor has completed an indictment into the murder of 19-year-old Gezi protester Ali İsmail Korkmaz, demanding life imprisonment for those responsible for the fatal beating of the victim, Hürriyet Daily News cites Doğan News Agency as saying.

Korkmaz, a university student from Antakya, died of a brain hemorrhage on July 10 after spending 38 days in a coma in Eskişehir, where he was beaten during a June demonstration.

Four people working at a bakery and four public officers have been accused of beating Korkmaz to death.
