I can't seem to find the thread that was on here, where we discussed the two Irish women who were murdered in Kusadasi a couple of weeks ago. Maybe I've just missed it? Anyway, there's a report today in the Daily Mail where they've interviewed the young daughter, Shannon, including the rest of the murdered mother's family :

I won't even start going into how appalling it is that the mother allowed her daughter to have a relationship with this waiter - and no way is he just 17! They were obviously sharing a bedroom (in the same villa where the mother and her friend were staying...) and it's just unbelievable to think the mother allowed that! Reading more of the story, it mentions how the mother was 'very good' to the waiter and his family - and I suspect she helped them out with money. The daughter is now saying that the initial reports were wrong, and that her boyfriend had never asked her to get married (which seemed weird to me at the beginning - considering they were was no rush to marry - and she was too young to legally get married, anyway) so I wonder if this murder wasn't money-motivated in some way? Maybe the mother was owed money by the family? Something doesn't sit right with the whole thing.
But what I found even more strange was when the daughter (in her interview to the Mail) said that when her boyfriend rang her in a panic and told her there was a problem - and that she needed to come back home straight away - she never asked him where her mother was or if it was even to with her mother. You'd think her first thought would be to ask him if her mother was OK when he said that to her. But she didn't ask him anything about her mother, and just got on a dolmus and went home. I just think it's weird.
And I also think it's weird that condidering this only happened last week - the daughter managed to have a make-up artist and hairdresser do her up for a professional photographer from the Mail. And besides being all made-up and groomed, there's nothing about her expression that looks griefstricken. In fact, she almost looks seductive!
When you're at that stage of grief you can barely stand up (such is your agony) let alone have your hair done, make-up applied, and pose for a photographer!
Just something about the whole thing which seems very strange to me.

How do you know that picture was taken by the newspaper, there's one of the mother on there too?
She is young and shocked so it could be its not sunk in yet.
