NKARA, Turkey — An official says Turkish police have detained a man wanted in connection with the killing of a New York City woman in Istanbul.
Sarai Sierra, the 33-year-old mother of two boys, was murdered while on a solo vacation in Turkey. Her body was found on Feb. 12 days after she was reported missing.
Gov. Celalettin Lekesiz says Sunday police caught the suspect — identified only as Ziya T.— in Hatay province, near Turkey's border with Syria.
Turkish news reports have identified the man as a scrap paper collector who used to hang around Istanbul's ancient city walls, were Sierra's body was found. He had been on the run since February.
