    I used it as a danger sign to watch out, loads of Irish people holiday in Turkey and look at what happens to these two misfortune souls. Have you ever seen the danger sign?

    I don't see what purpose this thread serves in AH.. the story is all over the news, and presumably no discussion is going to be allowed here.

    Did you even read the aul article? Very special circumstances.

    A 17-year-old Turkish waiter has been arrested by police after the murder of two Irish women who were on holiday in the popular resort of Kusadasi.

    The youth is believed to be the boyfriend of the 15-year-old daughter of one of the women. Both are from Co Down, but hold Irish passports.

    The women are Marion Graham and Kathy Doyle (nee Dinsmore), who were both in their 50s and from Newry.

    It is understood the alarm was raised by Mrs Graham's daughter Shannon, (15), after they failed to return home from a trip to Izmir.

    Reports today indicated that the 17-year-old man, named locally as Recep C, confessed to killing the women when the mother of the teenage girl denied him permission to marry her.

    The bodies of the two women, suffering fatal stab wounds, were found in a forest near Izmir, some 120 kilometres from the resort of Kusadasi where one of the women has a holiday home.

    It has been reported in Turkey that the youth confessed to the police that he lured the women to the woods where he attacked them. He later led police to the bodies.

    Shannon Graham had been away on a boat trip yesterday and when she returned she could not find her mother. The disappearance was reported to local police who interviewed the youth.

    They also retrieved his blood-stained clothes.

    R.I.P.

    But would that not be copywriting the article placing boards at legal risk from the source? (ie. the indo)

    Not quite, because they were travelling on Irish passports. They could have been born and raised in Siberia and have Irish passports.

    Yes I have seen the danger sign.
    I'm sure everybody will be extra vigilant now that you have used it in this Threads title.

    Read the article.

    See the part where it says;

    A 17-year-old Turkish waiter has been arrested by police after the murder of two Irish women who were on holiday in the popular resort of Kusadasi. The youth is believed to be the boyfriend of the 15-year-old daughter of one of the women. Both are from Co Down, but hold Irish passports. The women are Marion Graham and Kathy Doyle (nee Dinsmore), who were both in their 50s and from Newry.

    That kinda hinted to me that they where in fact from County Down. (which isn't in Siberia)

    You never actually read the article though, did you?:rolleyes:

    Well done you, but the fact that they were from Down has nothing to do with the fact that they are described as Irish and that it is the Republic's consular officials taking care of the girl. They are 'Irish' because they were travelling under Irish passports. Being from Down doesn't guarantee that they were Irish anymore than it does that they were subjects of the UK.

    My heart goes out to their family and loved ones may their souls be at peace,and may the perpetrator be remorseful and plead for the Lords` forgiveness and mercy.

    Six people were tragically killed in Jersey just the other day, and they had Polish Passports.

    Getting back to Turkey, its as safe as any other country, I've holidayed there on & off and it got some great resorts. Sounds like the young lad was a rotten apple, mad or otherwise, he is not typical of the Turkish people who I have always found to be very hospitable & friendly.

    Our thoughts are with the families of those two unfortunate women.

    I went to Turkey a few years ago on holidays. The place we stayed had a lot of Irish. There was a group women from Dublin and they absolutley did not give a flying Fook how they behaved themselves. I drank with them a few nights and they were very funny. Having said that, it seemed a bit sad they were so badly behaved, I wouldn't say the Turkish men knew what to make of them at all...

    Did anybody see that documentery a few years ago about the women in their fifties going over to Turkey and hooking up with younger men? It was extremely cringeworthy.

    I'm not in anyway suggesting these women were like that and I can't begin to imagine how the young girl is feeling.

    Maybe some Turkish men have come to expect certain behaviour from foreigners, or dodgy types of Turks are trying to latch onto foreign women when they get the chance. I could be talking through my bum though...
