Erhan Tuncel, a suspect linked with the murder of Turkish-Armenian editor Hrant Dink, is brought to a court in Istanbul January 26, 2007. Istanbul’s chief prosecutor Aykut Cengiz Engin charged on Friday a sixth suspect — Tuncel — with being a member of an armed criminal group formed to commit crime and inciting premeditated murder. Another suspect was released, reports the Associated Press.
17-year-old Ogun Samast was charged of murder of Hrant Dink and membership of a criminal group. Yasin Hayal, aged 26, was also detained for providing Samast with money and gun and threatening Nobel Prize winner Orhan Pamuk, who like Dink stood trial over Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code.
