Waltham Forest Guardian reports:

— “THREE brothers accused of killing a teenager in a so-called honour killing are lying to escape jail, a court heard.”

— “Tulay Goren, 15, disappeared from her home in Glastonbury Avenue, Woodford Green, in January 1999.”

— “The teenager’s father Mehmet Goren, 49, of Navestock Crescent, Woodford Green, and her uncles Ali Goren, of Brettenham Road, Walthamstow and Cuma Goren, of Evesham Avenue, Walthamstow, all deny murder.”

— “At the Old Bailey today, Jonathan Laidlaw, summing up the proscution case, said all three men were lying to try to escape conviction.”

— “He reminded the jury that Tulay’s mother had told the court that Ali was the most senior member of the family and fed and clothed Memet’s family both in Turkey and the UK, yet Ali denied being involved in Mehmet’s family’s affairs.”
