The 14th hearing in the trial of the three men accused of murdering journalist Hrant Dink has revealed a lack of police cooperation and investigation. Reporters San Frontieres reports that various pieces of evidence for the trial had not been submitted by the investigating detectives, thus considerably holding up the trial’s progression. Missing evidence includes data from the computer used by one of the suspects after the murder, and information from a phonecall between a police officer and one of the accused. The former police intelligence chief, Sabri Uzun, also revealed that a report evaluating the likelihood of Dink’s murder was archived instead of sent to him. Uzun said in court, “If I had been informed of the existence of this report, Hrant Dink would still be alive today”.
