Father had concerns about girl’s relationship

THE ex-partner of one of the two Irish women stabbed to death in Turkey has spoken of the concerns he had about the year-long relationship his 15-year-old daughter had with the alleged killer.

Marion Elizabeth Graham and Kathy Dinsmore, both aged 54 and from Newry, Co Down, were described as inseparable. They were found murdered in woods 120km north of Kusadasi.

It is understood a 17-year-old Turkish waiter, named as Recep Celik but known to the family as Alex, confessed to the killings after concocting a story about the women being kidnapped.
