Turkish police have discovered a house of horror in which a Syrian couple was reportedly tortured by a drug dealer on Istanbul?s historic city walls.

Man found dead in Istanbul in same place as US tourist Sierra

The body of a man has been found along Istanbul's city walls near Sarayburnu, in exactly the same spot where an American woman visiting the city was killed in 2013.

The man, who is thought to be a foreign national aged between 35 and 40, sustained cuts to his throat, reports said. One of his shoes was found one meter away.
