So goes the narrative of darker skinned Arabs again; this was a tragedy. So, they suspect a family member of doing this? Turkey is a bit of the "Wild West" as far as being lawless, in parts at least, there are a number of these kinds of assassinations on record as having gone on there. Sad, I'm sure these were good people.
