New dramatic video has emerged showing the moments leading to the shooting of the Russian ambassador to Turkey, Andrey Karlov, yesterday.

Policeman Mevlut Mert Altintas, smartly dressed in a dark suit, is shown calmly walking behind the ambassador as he delivered a speech in a gallery in Ankara.

Altintas then produced a revolver from his jacket and fired a series of shots, hitting the ambassador nine times.

The policeman was officially on sick leave. See more at http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20161220/world/killer-of-russian-ambassador-took-sick-leave-on-day-of-attack.634432
