The family of the Turkish police officer who shot dead Russian Ambassador Andrey Karlov was freed from police custody, Sky news reported.
Mevlut Altintas's mother, father, sister and two other relatives were held in the western province of Aydin, while his flatmate in Ankara was also arrested.
New video shows the 22-year-old Turkish police officer-turned-assassin watching Karlov as he gave a speech at an art exhibition. Seconds later he pulled out a gun and shot him in the back. The murderer was later killed by Turkish security forces.
The assassination was an apparent act of revenge for Russia’s bloody air strikes in Syria, which have helped the Syrian regime win back the city of Aleppo but forced tens of thousands of people to flee.
