Turkish authorities charge more suspects in Dink killing
Istanbul, 07:47
Turkish police charged two more suspects in the slaying of prominent
journalist of Armenian ethnic origin, Hrant Dink.
They arrested two persons in Istanbul and in Trabzon, the latter
being the birth town of the 17-year-old assassin Ogün Samast.
One of the suspects, Yasin Hayal, 26, reportedly incited Samast to
kill Dink, gave him money and the gun, while the University student
Erhan Tuncel was arrested on charges of instigating the killing.
Dink, who spoke out about the mass killings of Armenians in the early
20th century, was shot dead outside his newspaper building a week
ago.
