Recep Cetin, arrested for slaughtering Marion Graham and Kathy Dinsmore,from County Down, Northern Ireland, had said he was 17. But prosecutors insist he is older.They claim he is concealing his real age in the hope of avoiding a severe sentence. He will face a much lighter punishment if tried as a minor.Cetin is thought to have killed the women after one refused to let him marry her daughter.Both of the women, who were in their 50s, were taken to a forest where they were stabbed and had their throats slit.

.

Marion's daughter Shannon, 15 - with whom he had been having a relationship - raised the alarm after the pair vanished from the family's holiday home in Kusadasi , Turkey.

Raymond McGuinness, Ms Graham's ex-partner and the father of Shannon, arrived in Turkey along with Ms Graham's son David yesterday.

He said: "We've identified the bodies and my main concern now is my daughter.

"We're going to arrange the flight home as soon as possible.

"There was always something that was not quite right."

The alarm was raised on Thursday when the waiter, said to have been in a distressed state, arrived for work in a Kusadasi restaurant.

He claimed he had suffered a cut to his hand trying to fight off kidnappers who had bundled the two women into a van.

 

Mr McGuinness said: "He told Shannon that he had tried to stop the kidnappers and he had a cut on his hand and that's how he suffered it."
