A Turkish man who shot dead a British toddler in Turkey 14 years ago has been shot and killed at his own wedding.
Two-year-old Alistair Grimason was asleep in his pram at a cafe in Foca in 2003 when he was hit by a bullet fired by Daimi Akyuz.
The following year, Akyuz, now 46, was sentenced to life for killing Alistair and another man after a gunfight broke out.
He was released early and on Saturday, just six days after his release, he was gunned down at his own wedding in Izmir, according to reports in Turkish media. Turkish police are interviewing five suspects over the shooting.
The toddler’s father, David Grimason, from East Kilbride, said the news did not give him any satisfaction: “I don’t take any joy in what has happened.
“I would rather that he was in prison and being punished for what he did.”
