Action call as energy costs set to climb
THE introduction of pay as you go for home heating oil and a firm plan to end fuel poverty are two demands from the Consumer Council as an 18.6 per cent rise in the cost of electricity has been confirmed. The rise announced today by Power NI will take effect from October 1 and was described as disappointing but unavoidable by Power NI boss Stephen McCully. Consumer Council chief executive Antoinette McKeown said consumers now faced an average increase of 92 on their annual bill. See Business, page 15

THE republican chairman of Moyle District Council was last night blocked from an official engagement in Bushmills as a reaction against his controversial track record on Gaza and the Orange Order. Ulster Unionist councillor Willie Graham said that councillor Padraig McShane had antagonised the unionist minority of the district by trying to twin it with Gaza and that residents of Bushmills turned out to make their feelings known.

CROWDS lined the streets of Newry yesterday as the remains of two women murdered in Turkey returned home.

People stood in sombre silence paying their respects before the two hearses carrying close friends Marion Graham and Kathy Dinsmore went their separate ways. Members of both families collected the bodies at Dublin Airport yesterday and

were given a garda escort for their return journey to Newry. Turkish waiter Recep Cetin is suspected of having stabbed them to death after Ms Graham refused permission for him to marry her 15-year-old daughter Shannon.

Meanwhile, Fermanagh teenagers Lydia and Alex Hanna said a waitor they now believe to have been Cetin left them feeling really uncomfortable following an encounter in Turkey last month. See pages 4 & 5
