/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Questioning of assassin reveals new details on
Hrant Dink’s murder. The interrogation of the assassin and four other
accomplices at the Security Directorate in Istanbul continues to reveal
various details on the heinous act. Ogun Samast is reported to have
been planning the act for four months and practicing shooting in a
forest in his hometown Trabzon. He was also reported to have carried
various Dink’s photos to be able to easily recognize his victim. The
weapon was given to Samast by Yasin Hayal, the 2004 Trabzon McDonald’s
bomber, whose bomb wounded six people sending Hayal to prison for 11
months. The assassin is reported to have talked to his friend, Hayal,
on the phone prior to the murder.

Istanbul Security Chief Celalettin Cerrah said for the press that the
police requested additional detention time for the suspects. According
to the law, as the assassin is underage, he can be held in detention
for only four days.
