Erkin Guney: a miscarriage of justice avoided

Erkin Guney was on remand on the allegation of soliciting the murder of his late father's partner, Diane Holliday from 15 July 2008 until he was cleared of all charges by a jury at the Old Bailey on Friday 22 May 2009. Throughout this period Erkin completely pleaded his innocence in this matter and believes that yet again he has been "fitted up". The jury's verdict supports this view of events.

Surrey Police arrested the father-of-three on 15 July and he appeared before Woking magistrates on 17 July. He faced a charge that he ‘solicited, encouraged, persuaded, endeavoured to persuade or proposed to a male known as ‘Zaf’ to murder Diane Holliday.’

Miss Holliday was the ex-partner of Erkin's father, Ramadan Guney, at the time of his death in November 2006.

Erkin Guney was remanded in custody and the case was heard at the Central Criminal Court, the Old Bailey, in London, from 21 April 2009. On 22 May 2009 Erkin was cleared of all charges by the jury. You can read more here.
