THE jury in the trial of three men accused of murdering a teenager in a so-called 'honour killing' has retired to consider its verdict.

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

Police believe the Woodbridge High School pupil was killed because her family disapproved of her relationship with a 30-year-old man who follows a different branch of Islam.

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.
