A colleague of former BBC journalist Jacky Sutton, who was found hanged in a toilet cubicle in Istanbul airport, said claims she committed suicide “go against everything we understood about Jacky”.
The 50-year-old acting Iraq director for the London-based Institute for War and Peace Reporting was found dead in Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport. The Foreign Office confirmed the death of a British national in Istanbul on 18 October and said it was “providing consular assistance to the family at this time”.
Friends and colleagues of Sutton have expressed suspicion over the circumstances of her death.Unattributed claims in Turkish media suggest her death is being treated as suicide after she missed a connecting flight.
“Everything I knew, or everything her friends knew, suggested a person of real life force and positive outlook with huge work ahead of her and great commitment, so the idea that she would take her life goes against everything we understood about Jacky,” IWPR director Anthony Borden told IBTimes UK.
He said colleagues would be travelling to Istanbul to speak UK consulate officials and attempt to arrange a meeting with Turkish investigators about the death.
Borden said Sutton had been engaged in training and mentoring programmes in Irbil, in the semi-autonomous Kurdish region of Iraq, for about four months, and was returning from a short visit to London, where she attended the memorial service for the institute’s previous Iraq director Ammar al-Shahbander, who was killed in a car bomb attack in Baghdad in May alongside 16 others.
“Following Amar’s passing we had the sombre task of continuing his legacy, and now that must begin again,” said Borden. He said Iraqi investigators believed Islamic State (Isis) was responsible for the car bomb attack in the Karrada area of Baghdad in which Shahbander was killed, but he had not been deliberately targeted, and was “in the wrong place at the wrong time”.
According to the MailOnline, Sutton had also spoken in June of her fears that she may be targeted by IS. Her LinkedIn profile says she spoke four languages, including basic Arabic, and was studying for PhD at the Centre for Arabic and Islamic Studies at the Australian National University in Canberra.
In an online article on her career, she describes being detained as a spy while reporting from Eritrea in the late 1980s, and narrowly avoiding being killed in bombing attacks in Baghdad while working for the UN in Baghdad.
IS , this a true story…………
Or, a FAKE i.e. look what …IS…Israeli Secret Intelligence Service……presenting themselves as, black robed “moslems”, has done now ?
This is my 2nd attempt at posting. My computer closed down, without warning, during the first attempt.
Ms Sutton had been working as the Iraq director of the Institute for War and Peace Reporting (IWPR), and her predecessor in the role was killed by a car bomb.
Yet her family are now satisfied there wasn’t anything suspicious about her death – so we can all just forget about it..

Miss Sutton should have (better) been at home in UK doting on her children/grandchildren but as far as I can make/find out, she hasn’t got any and has never been married. Just what the Frankfurt School Marxist lunatics want – useful idiots.

I wonder who dreamed up that mischievous headline? Is this even yet another fabricated event?
“Local media reports state she told airport staff she did not have enough money to buy a new ticket. Her body was found a short time later.”
Are they being serious or just pulling our kissers(sic)?
Perhaps working for the BBC past or present should come with a health warning.
There’s a saying that in life that, ‘we are denied what we want and get what we deserve’.
Lying for the BBC etc, could well put these media whores, presstitutes and all round accomplished liars who are complicit in the deaths of millions, on Grim Reaper’s/Karma’s radar.

Is it yet more anti-Islam propaganda to stir up racial tensions even more than they already are and carried out by the usual suspects – if it has happened?
“So if someone came in uninvited I was trapped and, as my Kurdish friends said, ‘It just needs one whacko to hear in the Friday prayers that killing foreigners is jihad, and they’ll come knocking at your door in a heartbeat.’”

The Americans regard ‘unauthorized’ journalists as ‘unprivileged belligerents’ who can be killed. A year ago to the day Serena Shim was killed in a suspicious car crash after interviewing a terrorist who had witnesses American air drops to ISIS.
The circumstances of her death are so unlikely that it is plainly meant as a warning. I think it’s unlikely she would have been murdered purely for journalistic work so I can only assume she was covertly helping one side or another.
Plus her alleged fears that Isis would kill her are surely misdirection by the real perpetrators – so that the ignorant won’t ask any further questions and the authorities have a fig leaf.
“Local media reports state she told airport staff she did not have enough money to buy a new ticket. Her body was found a short time later.”
Do they seriously expect people to believe that she had no access to a credit card as a travelling journalist, or a back up plan before she decided to travel overseas and not a friend or employer that she could contact to arrange ticket payment. She could have contacted her embassy if all else failed.
Precisely !
The unexplained death of British journalist Jacky Sutton in an Istanbul airport is now being treated as suspicious after police discovered thousands of euros in her bag, adding fresh doubt to reports suggesting she killed herself due to lack of funds.
