British boy, 17yrs, stripped and stabbed 17 times before being photographed....
 

.....as he lay appallingly injured in Turkish street

A British teenager has been left fighting for his life after he was stripped naked and 'stabbed 17 times' during an attack in a Turkish holiday resort.

The British teenager, named as Dwaine Ward, was found in a garden in the Tepe district of Marmaris, a popular holiday haunt for British tourists. Two men have now been arrested in connection with the incident.


The 17-year-old was discovered on Tuesday with at least 10 stab wounds to the body and
taken to the intensive care unit of the Marmaris State Hospital. He is reportedly in a critical condition

Attila Dincer, 26, who works cleaning cars in the area near to where Dwaine was found, is now being questioned in relation to the incident.

He was arrested in the early hours of Thursday morning and shortly after Ismail A, 24, from Aksaray, was arrested on a bus in Konya, 354 miles away


Using information believed to have come from Dincer, Turkish police in Mugla liased with other forces across the country - tracking Ismail on a bus heading for his home town.


Ismail was taken from the bus at Konya and is being transferred back to Marmaris to undergo questioning.


Mr Ward's blood-stained, naked body was spotted and photographed lying in a garden at around 7.30am on Tuesday by local residents.

They called the emergency services and a doctor managed to stabilise the teenager at the scene before he was rushed to intensive care


Marmaris police immediately launched a major investigation into the alleged attack and
all leave was cancelled as they desperately tried to track down the attackers.

Within 48 hours police had checked 217 cameras covering the town's Bar Street and surrounding areas.

Careful examination of the camera's showed Dwayne leaving Bar Street and then a few hundred yards further on two men were seen following him and taking hold of his arms.


According to police and hospital reports Dwaine had been stabbed more than a dozen times including twice in the throat and several times in the chest. It is said to have pierced his heart.


It is said he had also been stabbed in the groin, legs and back and his arms had been slashed with a razor


The attack took place after the young man and his older brother, said to be 32, had been out drinking in the town's Bar Street on Monday night.


The brothers had reportedly become separated among the crowds and Darren had returned to their hotel alone.

The brothers are believed to be on holiday with their mother- staying at the privately run Ali Baba Otel close to the town's busy market place.

Speaking from the Ali Baba Otel, yesterday morning his mother said: 'Dwaine's facing another operation this morning. His dad's flying out from the UK to be with him.


'I'm too distressed to talk about it.'

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) confirmed hospitalisation of the teenager


It comes as two British men, one named locally as Anthony Gissing and the second whose identity has not been released, died after drowning at different beaches in Mugla’s Olundeniz district.

It has been reported that the incidents all occurred within 24 hours of each other on Turkey’s southern coast.


People on Belcekiz beach called paramedics after noticing that a body - believed to be that of Mr Gissing - was floating in the sea without moving.


He was taken to a local hospital but could not be saved, it is said.


On Olundeniz’s Kumburnu beach, officers brought another male body, said to be that of a 'Mr Webb', ashore after noticing him in the sea.


Paramedics arrived on the scene, but he was also declared dead.


The bodies of both tourists were sent to the Muğla Forensics Department.

It is not yet clear how the men drowned

Holiday Resort...??? Doesn't sound much like a nice place to go on holiday.

nasty people live in nice places:shocked::xyxwave:

Holiday resorts are not maniac free zones!

Hope this young lad makes a quick recovery, a nightmare for him and his family.

A seventeen year old on holiday with his mate and after a few beers he gets chatty with a girl and ends up giving her a kiss.

He leaves the Bar and is then set on by up to 17 youths and repeatedly tortured and stabbed ... Wtf ??? What sort of people are we dealing with her ?

I think tour operators need to send holiday makers to countries that have evolved slightly higher up the evolutionary ladder than this.

Evil why would they do that

most tourist's are killed in road accidents in friendly places, then there are those that die because they are morons.
no where is safe if you think about it!, wrong place wrong time in most cases.

I agree , but when a gang of locals torture and try to murder a young holidaymaker a teenager because he kissed presumably a local girl then I would have to seriously question the logic in using that area as a Holiday resort.

Local people who have this attitude to outsiders need to be educated and quickly as I imagine this incident will not be a one off.

This is awful :( what bastard can stab somebody once let alone 17 times!?

Perhaps they had a tiff during the night out and they caught him afterwards? This is horrible :(

but this could happen any where in the world!
two tourist drowned the sea is made of water in turkey the same as it is around the world.
what im saying is sh*t happens!

Disgusting,made me feel sick,hope Turkish law is stricter than ours.

This is horrid

Stabbings happen regularly on British streets, how 'evolved' are we?
I really hope the lad pulls through.
Sounds like the emergency services were on the ball too, well done them.

Boycott the bloody place.

why punish everyone for two mindless thugs?
its like saying ignore all muslims because of the lee rigby killing.

Awful story, all credit to the Turkish police for their response

thats a very good point!:xyxwave:
i think im going to call you captain sensible from now on!

You can't fault the police for not taking this seriously, but then again this is probably their main priority given how it could damage income from tourism.

This is really awful... I think it's the stripping naked part that terrifies me most; it's one thing to stab someone, it's another thing to stab them 17 times but this has an element of trying to humiliate the guy as well, to 'teach him a lesson'... No wonder the Turkish police are taking this so seriously, I'd imagine the tourism industry has taken a hit with all the political demonstrations and the troubles with neighbouring countries going on.

awwwwwwwwwwww
