Erdogan: Morsi was killed

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday claimed that former Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, his close aide, was "killed", and accused Egyptian authorities of failing to intervene to save the ex-president.

"Morsi was struggling on the floor in the courtroom for 20 minutes. Authorities unfortunately did not intervene to save him," Erdogan said during a televised speech in Istanbul, according to AFP.
