Turkish authorities have detained a fifth suspect over the deaths of 12 Syrian migrants in two boat sinkings last week, including a three-year-old boy whose image became a viral symbol of the tragedy of refugees, a report said on Monday.
The suspect, a Turkish national, was detained in the Aegean resort city of Bodrum by Turkish police on accusations of people trafficking and causing multiple deaths, the official Anatolia news agency reported.
Four other suspected traffickers, all Syrian nationals, were detained last week on similar charges.
