This is a typically maddening piece of journalism. Were the killers identified and caught? Do you think this information could have been part of the story?

Wire stories like this are typically written in “upside-down pyramid” style, with all the past details like that down at the bottom where they can be snipped off by the editor depending on how heavily the story was covered in the paper previously such that the readers can be assumed to already know about it and how many column inches the editor needs to fill.
Of course, in a world where the “column inch” is about as important as the reciprocating piston steam engine, why that stuff gets snipped off by the editors can be a bit of a mystery.

There is a suspect in custody, and he reportedly has admitted to attacking Albayrak. More here:
