Men jailed for football murders

Christopher Loftus died in Istanbul in April 2000
Three men have been jailed for the murders of two Leeds United fans in Turkey seven years ago.
Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight were stabbed to death in Istanbul ahead of Leeds United's Uefa Cup semi-final game against Galatasary in April 2000.

In Turkey on Tuesday, Ali Umit Demir was sentenced to six years and eight months for the murder.

Ali Baydar and Yilmaz Tutus were also found guilty of murder and jailed for six years and five years respectively.

Street fighting

Two other men, Suleyman Gokhan Guven and Suleyman Aydin, were also sentenced over the incident.

Guven was found guilty of laceration and jailed for 10 years, while Aydin was found guilty of affray and jailed for six months and 20 days.

Demir was originally sentenced to 15 years in prison for the stabbings, which happened during street fighting before the match.

But an appeals court in June 2003 overturned the double-murder conviction and Demir was released from prison.

Six years is about what you might expect to serve here for manslaughter so not surprising but I agree it isn't enough.
How come a longer sentence for laceration than for murder? Now that is bizarre
