Turkish prosecutors say the teenager suspected of murdering Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink has confessed.

Ogun Samast was arrested after he was identified by his father from CCTV images taken near the scene of Friday's killing in Istanbul.

BBC quoted prosecutors as saying he confessed after being detained in the Black Sea port of Samsun, before he was returned to Istanbul for further questioning.

Six other suspects are also being questioned over the murder.

Dink, 53, was shot dead in broad daylight outside his Istanbul offices on Friday.
