Key suspect of Hrant Dink murder case arrested
A key suspect in the investigation into the murder of Hrant Dink was arrested on Tuesday in the Black Sea province of Trabzon, with the trial due the restart from scratch in September following a Supreme Court ruling, Hurriyet Daily News reported.
Ersin Yolcu's arrest was carried out after the Supreme Court reversed the judgment on his release from jail. Yolcu is now again being held in Trabzon's Bahçeçik prison, pending the second trial.
Yolcu had been sentenced to 12 years and six month in prison, but was released in 2010 after the court ruled that there was not enough evidence proving that he was a "member of a terrorist organization." He was together with another key suspect, Ahmet İskender.
