Dink murder fee was $120?

The suspect in Hrant Dink murder, Ogun Samast, told a court session that Yasin Hayal [the alleged instigator of the murder] gave him 180 Turkish liras ($120), a gun and photo of Dink.

“But I do not why I killed him,” Samast said. “I forgot everything. I don’t even remember what I spoke about in the court. You will label me as a liar if I say something contrary to what I said before. So, I will answer the court’s question if you read my previous testimony,” he added, CNN-Turk reported.

Hrant Dink, the editor-in-chief of Agos Armenian-Turkish weekly, was shot dead in front of his newspaper office in January 2007.
