The criminal investigation into the murder of Hrant Dink, the Turkish-Armenian editor-in-chief of the Istanbul-based bilingual weekly Agos, has revealed new details
According to Milliyet, Ogun Samast, the Turkish ultra-nationalist who shot Dink dead in broad daylight outside his office in January 2007, was followed by plain-clothed police officers while committing the crime.
Before gunning down Dink, Samast reportedly made three phone calls whose records weren’t later deciphered.
What’s even more, the phone-booths he used were moved to another area after the murder.
The six policemen were seen in the video records obtained during the probe.
The Turkish publication claims that Samast was followed both before and after committing the murder. He was sentenced to 22 years in jail in July 2011.
