A series of killings that started in October during the Kobani protests has gained momentum with a new wave of unsolved murders in Turkey's East, a region that became known in the 1990s for assassinations allegedly by agents of the deep state.

A series of killings that started in October during the Kobani protests has gained momentum with a new wave of unsolved murders in Turkey's East, a region that became known in the 1990s for assassinations allegedly by agents of the deep state.

Within just the last two weeks, four people have been murdered in various eastern and southeastern provinces, and an Iranian journalist, Serene Shim, was killed on Saturday in a highly suspicious car accident the day after she complained that the Turkish government had accused her of being an agent collecting intelligence for a foreign country.

In the latest incident, Salih Tekinalp, a former mayor of Şanlıurfa's Suruç district, and his son Sinan Tekinalp, were shot and killed in their car by unidentified assailants on Sunday.

Also, a shop owner in the city of Van, Muhammed Latif Şener, (66), was shot in the head on Saturday by unidentified persons while heading home. The Patriotic Revolutionist Youth Movement (YDG-H) -- an affiliate of the PKK -- is accused of being behind the murder.
