Brit tourist, 22, 'beats his OWN dad to death in furious row while walking back to Marmaris resort in Turkey'

A BRITISH tourist has been arrested in Turkey after being accused of beating his own father to death when a furious row broke out.

Victim Garry James Hallows, 51, died in hospital after reportedly being punched by his 22-year-old son Ethan at the Marmaris resort.

Passersby called an ambulance and the victim was rushed to hospital.

However, the 51-year-old father, who suffered a serious head injury, later died in hospital.

When questioned by the police, his son said his father had suffered a fall.

But police say they were suspicious of the family’s account and believed there was more to the death, local media reports.

Turkish officers reviewed CCTV footage of the hotel the family was staying in as well as the surrounding streets.

The footage is believed to show the pair arguing on a path before the two square up to each other.

The suspect is then allegedly seen punching his father in the head twice before walking away as his dad falls to the ground.
