Former BBC journalist found dead in Istanbul airport, fears over 'cover up

[MikeWB]

This is weird... sounds to me that she was suicided. I wonder why though.. what did she know? My best guess is that she was working with Kurdish journalists...





A British woman has been found hanged in a Turkish airport after missing her connecting flight to Iraq, it was claimed last night.

Former BBC journalist Jacky Sutton, 50, had travelled from London Heathrow to Istanbul's Ataturk Airport, but is believed to have failed to make it onto her next plane to Erbil.

She then appeared distressed after being told by airline staff that she would have to buy a new ticket - and was later found in the toilets by three Russian passengers, according to local media.

She is believed to have been the acting Iraq director for the Institute for War and Peace Reporting, an organisation that supports journalists and activists in conflict-hit countries.

However, friends of Ms Sutton expressed concern at suggestions that she may have taken her own life after missing a flight.

Christian Bleuer, a research fellow at the Australian National University who knew her well, tweeted: "Toughest woman u could meet. Turkish police say she committed suicide cuz she missed her flight?"

He added: "I'm not into conspiracies, but if the Turks say a security camera at Istanbul-Ataturk was 'malfunctioning', then Jacky Sutton was murdered."
