Lawyers and judges in the case of three Christians murdered in Turkey in April 2007 are continuing to investigate whether the attack was masterminded by troubled youths or shadowy elements of the Turkish state.
Plaintiff attorneys believe the first witness at the hearing on 16 October, local journalist Varol Bulent Aral, incited the suspected ringleader of the attacks to murder by convincing him foreign missionaries were connected to the Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK), a domestic outlawed terrorist organisation.
The suspected ringleader, Emre Gunaydin, testified that Aral promised him state immunity for the planned murders. Aral, however, denied promising clemency to Gunaydin for murdering the three Christians.
