Dink hit man Samast marries in jail

5 February 2010 / TODAY’S ZAMAN, İSTANBUL
The teenage killer of Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink was married on Thursday at the Kandıra F-type Prison in the northwestern province of Kocaeli, where he is serving his prison sentence.

The hit man, Ogün Samast, and 19-year-old Selma Şahin's marriage was performed by the muhtar (local headman) of the village of Akçakese, near where the prison located, while the witnesses of the ceremony were prison employees. The wedding was reportedly attended by Şahin's relatives, who came from Giresun, Şahin's hometown.

Akçaköy muhtar Mevlüt Akdeniz noted that they received the application for the marriage two weeks ago, saying: “Following the legal procedures, we went to the prison. I presided over the ceremony, which was witnessed by employees of the prison. The girl said they were engaged six months ago.”
