Turkey murder accused faces age test

A Turkish judge has ruled that a man accused of murdering two Irish women must have a bone marrow test to find out how old he is.

Recep Cetin - who claims he is 17 and should be tried in a juvenile court - is alleged to have killed Marion Graham and Kathy Dinsmore, both in their 50s, in Turkey last summer.

However, the families of the victims insist the suspect is older and should be tried in an adult court, where he would face a tougher sentence if found guilty.

Cetin was the boyfriend of Shannon Graham, Marion Graham's 15-year-old daughter.

The case has been adjourned until February 22.
