The main suspect in murder of Armenian journalist Hrant Dink was caught by police.

Erhan Tuncel has been caught in Istanbul’s Kumburgaz district, Milliyet newspaper reported.

The Istanbul 14th High Criminal Court on September 17 began the trial into the killing of Hrant Dink after a decision by the Supreme Court of Appeals overturned the Istanbul court’s first ruling on the murder.

During the session, the prosecution motioned the court to arrest Erhan Tuncel, a prompter of Dink’s murder, who was released after the issuance of the initial ruling on the murder case.  

To note, on January 17, 2012 the Turkish court found Yasin Hayal guilty of planning and organizing the murder of Hrant Dink—founder and chief editor of Istanbul’s Agos Armenian bilingual weekly, who was gunned down in 2007 in front of his office building—, and sentenced him to life in prison. Erhan Tuncel, on the other hand, was found not guilty of prompting Dink’s murder, and, instead, he was sentenced to ten years and six months for an explosion in a McDonald’s restaurant. But taking into account that Tuncel was already incarcerated for that amount of time, the court ruled his release. The court also found the nineteen other defendants not guilty of being members of a terrorist organization.
