A Turkish man has been jailed for 36 years – for killing a Scottish toddler who was on holiday with his parents.
Two-year-old Alistair Grimason was shot last July while sleeping in his pram in a café in Foca.
Daimi Akyuz pleaded not guilty to shooting the toddler intentionally but was found guilty by a judge, BBC News reports.
Alistair’s parents, who travelled to Turkey for the verdict, branded him “a dangerous man and he deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison”.
David and Ozlem Grimason, from East Kilbride, have been campaigning for Turkey to tighten its gun laws since their son’s death.
Speaking outside the court, Mr Grimason told the BBC he hoped the sentence might act as a deterrent “so no family has to go through what we have been through.
“It’s after a year and I still don’t fully understand what happened or why it happened to us. We went there on a harmless holiday and look what happened,” he said.
