Two tourists from Nothern Ireland have been stabbed to death in Turkey.

The women were attacked on Thursday night in the city of Izmir, about 75 miles from the popular Aegean resort of Kusadasi.

It is understood the pair, who have not been named, were from County Down. They are believed to have been staying in Kusadasi but they had travelled into Izmir where they were attacked.

A 17-year-old Turkish boy, believed to be the boyfriend of daughter of one of the women, has been arrested.
