MURDERS IN IRELAND

STRANGE FATE OF A TURK LINK IN ANOTHER CRIME The recent publicity given in various parts of tlie world to the world’s oldest man—Zaro Agha, a Turk, who is claimed to he about 1(U) years of age—lias had a sensational sequel in I reland. With the identification of the naked body of a Turk —which, with two bullet wounds in the head, which was covered with a woman’s bathing cap. was fount in a field near Carriekfergus. Country Antrim—as that of Ahmed Musa, variously described ae a doctor attending Zaro Agha, and his great-great-great-grandson. tin* Belfast police believe they have established a strange link with the murder of Robert Donald, the 27-year-old bank clerk, who was shot and hlun.lgeoned in Glasgow on August 12. while endeavouring to prevent hank raiders absconding with £2OOO. Agha is at present with a travelling circus and Musa formerly stood alongside him interpreting. A woman attached to the circus identified his photograph. The police believe Hint Musa, who had lived in America, was associated with a well-known American gunman and others who were in Glasgow on the day Donald was murdered, and that the gangster shot Musa in Belfast because lie knew too much, striplied off his clothing and covered llie head wounds with a .bathing cap to prevent the blood staining the motor car in which! he body was taken into the country and dumped.
