Undated handout photo issued by the Metropolitan Police of Mehmet Koray Alpergin, who was tortured to death near Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a killing bearing the hallmarks of serious organised crime, the Old Bailey has heard. Six men are on trial at the Old Bailey variously accused of murder, kidnap, false imprisonment and perverting the course of justice. Steffan Gordon, 34, of Northolt, Tejean Kennedy, 33, of Cricklewood Broadway, Samuel Owusu-Opoku, 35, of Wood Green, Junior Kettle, 32, of Archway, Ali Kavak, 26, from Tottenham, and Erdogan Ulcay, 56, from Camden, are in the dock. Issue date: Thursday October 20, 2022. PA Photo. Mehmet Koray Alpergin and his girlfriend were abducted as they returned home from an expensive Italian restaurant in Mayfair, central London, last October, the Old Bailey was told. They were taken to an empty wine bar backing on to White Hart Lane, where 43-year-old Mr Alpergin was allegedly beaten, throttled, scalded with boiling water, stabbed, maimed and violated. His body was later dumped in Essex woodland and his 34-year-old girlfriend, Gozde Dalbudak, spent two days locked in a toilet before being freed, jurors were told. See PA story COURTS Tottenham.
