Ömer Güney, a suspect in the killings of Sakine Cansız, a co-founder of the PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party), Fidan Doğan, representative of the KNK (Kurdistan National Congress) in Paris and Leyla Şaylemez, member of the Kurdish youth movement, last visited Ankara on 18 December 2012, 19 days before the executions, reported Hürriyet daily on Sunday. According to the report by Fevzi Kızılkoyun, Güney stayed three days in Ankara before he turned back to Paris.

The news by Hürriyet daily was grounded on a report by a special team which has reportedly been created in Ankara to investigate the suspect's links in Turkey. According to the report, Güney, who has been arrested in connection with the killings since 19 January, flew from Paris to Ankara with a connecting flight via Istanbul on 18 January and stayed there three days. Güney reportedly didn't meet any of his relatives here and it still remains unknown whom he made contact with and where he stayed during his last visit to the Turkish capital.

According to the report, the investigating team has asked Güney's uncle in Ankara information about Güney's visit to the capital. The suspect's uncle, Ahmet Güney, reportedly told police that he had last seen Güney when he was a kid, that he didn't know anything about Güney's visit to Ankara and the people he was in contact with.

According to an earlier report, the National Intelligence Organization of Turkey (MİT) found out that the suspect had visited Turkey 10 times in 2012. MİT reportedly ascertained that Güney had come to Ankara and stayed there for eight days in the August of last year.
