News Letter, Tuesday, August 23, 2011 29
Since 1737
THE teenage daughter of a woman murdered with her best friend on holiday in Turkey arrived back home in Northern Ireland last night. Shannon Graham arrived at Belfast International Airport with her father Raymond McGuinness and brother David as police continue to try to establish the true age of the prime suspect. Turkish waiter Recep Cetin, who had been in a relationship with Shannon, was arrested over the killing of Co Down women Marion Elizabeth Graham and Kathy Dinsmore. He has claimed he is 17 but prosecutors have raised doubts and if older he would be treated as an adult if charged with the double murder. Meanwhile, a Coleraine man who met up with the two victims and the murder suspect while on holidays in Turkey said Marion Graham had expressed concerns about her daughters vulnerability. Peter Ferris said there had been a strained atmosphere among the group and described Cetin as having a domineering influence. It was clear that Marion had concerns about her daughters relationship. She was worried about her [Shannon] being vulnerable. At the time, I suppose, it just seemed like an understandable conversation to have, but looking back now, it was clear that things were not right at all. I have been doing nothing but thinking that I could have done something to help, or stop it happening, he told the News Letter. It is hoped that arrangements will be finalised tomorrow to repatriate the two womens bodies. See page 7
