Turkish prosecutors on Wednesday charged five people, including a teenaged gunman, in the killing of ethnic Armenian journalist Hrant Dink, prosecutor Aykut Cengiz Engin said.

The teenager, Ogun Samast, was charged with membership in an armed gang and murder, Aykut Cengiz Engin said. Four other suspects, including a man who has confessed to inciting the killing, were charged with membership in the armed gang and of involvement in Dink's slaying. The charges were brought at the end of the legal three-day detention period. Prosecutors would however, continue investigating possible links to illegal organizations, Engin said.
