Killer of Russian Ambassador to Turkey to be buried in unmarked grave (photo)  

Mevlut Altyntash - killer of the Russian Ambassador to Turkey Andrey Karlov - will be buried in an unmarked grave in a cemetery for the homeless. This decision was taken because his relatives did not take his body from the morgue, Anadolu reported.

As noted, under the law, the relatives of Altyntash could take the body within 15 days, but it is in a morgue for 24 days already. In this regard, the authorities began considering the issue of his bury. After all the procedures, terrorist's body will be handed over to the representatives of the municipality for burial in the cemetery for the homeless.
