Three people have been arrested in connection with the killing of a Syrian journalist in southern Turkey, according to Turkish state media.
Naji al-Jarf, the editor of Syrian pro-opposition magazine Hinta, died after being shot in the street in the city of Gaziantep in December. He was the third Syrian journalist to be killed in an attack in Turkey in recent months.
The Anadolu news agency said police had arrested one suspect and two others believed to have aided him. A court ordered the trio into custody late on Saturday, pending trial. There was no information on the suspects.
The Paris-based Reporters Without Borders said Jarf had been receiving threats after making a documentary about Islamic State group violence.
Isis claimed responsibility for the killing of the other two Syrians in October.
