Three Bible publishing house workers have been killed in the latest attack on Turkey's minority Christian community on Wednesday.
The attackers bound their victims before slitting their throats in the publishing house in Malatya, a city in central Turkey and a nationalist stronghold.
Four people are believed to have been detained for questioning regarding the killings, and one other suspect that fell from the building was taken to the hospital with head trauma.
It has emerged that one of those murdered was of German nationality, German Ambassador to Turkey Eckart Cuntz said.
Images appeared on television stations showing police leading several young men out of the building where the killings took place.
