One of the lawyers representing the family of the assassinated Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink, former chief editor of Akos newspaper, was found dead in his home in Istanbul in unclear circumstances. Hakan Karadag, 40 years old was found hung by his lover, who’d applied to the police. According to CNNTurk during the last trial, Hakan Karadag had an argument with Dinks’ killer Ogun Samast. Karadag later told the media that after the trial Samast had put a note in his pocket on which he had found his name, where he had threatened Karadag. “Hurriyet Daily News” quoted unnamed source close to the Dink family as saying that Karadag most probably committed suicide. “However, as he was a lawyer working on the Dink murder case, the police are looking at the possibility that he might have been murdered, although it is only a slight possibility,” the source said. But some relatives of the lawyer ruled out the suicide theory. At the moment the forensic examination doesn’t provide any information about the circumstances of the lawyer’s death.
