Suspected UAE spy arrested in Turkey commits suicide: State media

[Aljazeera] One of two men suspected of spying for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in Turkey has committed suicide in prison, state media has said.

Turkey's Haberturk news website first carried the report on Monday, with senior journalist Cetiner Cetin, who broke the story, saying the suspect hanged himself in Silivri prison on Sunday.

The suspect's death was later confirmed by the state-run Anadolu Agency.

Al Jazeera's Sinem Koseoglu, reporting from Istanbul, said Turkish authorities would investigate how he managed to kill himself as he was being held in solitary confinement.

"According to Turkish authorities, the two men were detained in mid-April, they claim they were Palestinian nationals and admitted to working on behalf of UAE intelligence," she said.

"Authorities believed that since relations between Turkey and Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt had been strained since the military coup in Egypt in 2013, those countries had been trying to build up a new system of intelligence gathering because of the situation."
