then-Istanbul police

Officers arrested in the murder case of Armenian-Turkish journalist Hrant Dink have joined the civilian suspects in blaming one-time allies or colleagues for the killing, after the inspection was recently widened.

Ogün Samast, the triggerman who shot Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink dead almost eight years ago, has claimed that two former police chiefs are responsible for Dink’s murder.

Samast, who had sent a letter to the prosecutor in charge of the investigation of Dink’s murder saying he wanted to “speak up” on Nov. 17, testified on Dec. 5 as a “witness.”
