What age would you say he is?

[sandyRoe]

He claims to be 17. He murdered the mother of the girl he's pictured with and another woman.

17 my arse! He looks like one of the sixth formers in Waterloo Road - at least 26.

[LoftyLottie]

Difficult to tell. Looks anywhere between 25 to 40. But not 17!!!!

[craft1948]

Looks more like 27........

[joggerjayne]

Did he say he "is aged" 17 years ?

Or he's been "sentenced to" 17 years ?

=0)

[fliptheswitch]

17?!! Yeah right! I would have said over 30!!

[starone]

17? Never. Looks like 35 to me. Perhaps he can't count. How on earth can a girl of 15 fall in love with a bloke who looks like that. Should have seen it was going to end unhappily.

[sandyRoe]

He's just confessed to the killings. By claiming to be 17 he might get a lighter sentence.
Are there no comprehensive records of births in Turkey, where the killings happened?

[askyourgran]

He looks as if he's in his late 20's to me, I thought he looked a bit well rounded if you know what I mean for 17. Can't understand why they allowed the daughter to go there.

[welshlibranr]

he has to be at least 30!.....maybe 35, certainly not 17!..........

[Jan1957]

Sorry, but why does it matter what age he is?

[joggerjayne]

Could they cut off his arm and count the rings?

[sandyRoe]

If he was sentenced as a juvenile he'd get shorter jail time.
If they cut off his head they could count the rings in his neck. Good idea, JJ

[fliptheswitch]

Because he may get a lighter sentence....

[welshlibranr]

yes, if he was 17, which he clearly is not! then he would get a much lighter sentence!........

[askyourgran]

Do they have the death penalty in Turkey?

Lol @count the rings.

[sandyRoe]

NO. Not for the last 7 years.

[Dee Sa]

I would say he was between 21 &25 yrs at least.You cant believe everything the papers say, he probably did stay at their house but it doesnt mean together.Why oh why did those two women get in the car with him after the mother had refused permission for a marriage ? such a tragedy, but a lot of unanswered questions.

[bigglez]

She looks 35

[Mosaic]

Well now, he looks very like some of the ethnic minority year 9 boys I teach, and they swear they are 14......
