Turks in Christian murder trial

Five young men are due to go on trial in eastern Turkey, accused of killing three Christians earlier this year.

The Christians, who included a pastor and a German missionary, were stabbed repeatedly and had their throats cut.

The suspects, aged 19 and 20, were detained at the scene of the crime, a Protestant publishing house in Malatya.

The murders have prompted three Christian families to leave the town, leaving only around two dozen people in its small Protestant community.

The five suspects face three life sentences each, while two other are charged with membership of a terrorist organisation.

The killings were gruesome, condemned at the time by Turkey's prime minister as savage.

The three Christians had their hands and feet bound.

They were stabbed repeatedly, then had their throats cut.

One was a local pastor, another a German missionary who had lived in Turkey with his family for several years.

The murders came a year after a Catholic priest was killed in northern Turkey and just months after the murder of ethnic Armenian journalist Hrant Dink.
