Turkish murder suspect ‘is an adult’

A Turkish waiter accused of killing two Irish women has been proven to be at least 22 years old.

Recep Cetin underwent DNA testing in December to determine his age. He had claimed to be 17 years old. Yesterday, a court in Izmir accepted medical evidence that shows Cetin is not a juvenile, as he claimed, but an adult.

Bone marrow tests have shown he is more than 22 years old and therefore faces a much longer prison sentence if he is found guilty of murder.
