Yasin Hayal, the Trabzon man who has admitted being behind the murder of journalist Hrant Dink, told police in that he had thought the perpetrator of the crime would "remain unknown" after the event.
Hayal also said in his admission that he had told another Trabzon resident, Zeynel Abidin Yavuz, that if he killed Dink, Yavuz would "become a hero" and that the "whole world would know his name." Yavuz later rejected Hayal's urgings to carry out the crime, at which point Hayal turned to 17 year old Ogun Samast, the young man who was caught after pulling the trigger on the gun that killed Dink in broad daylight on an Istanbul street two Fridays ago.
Details surrounding the Dink murder from Hayal's perspective came in 9 pages of testimony provided by the Trabzon resident Hayal, who had himself been involved in a crime involving the bombing of a Trabzon McDonalds outlet in 2004. Hayal had gone to prison for that crime, in which no one was killed, but many injured, but only for some months.
