Innocent dad with same name as former Manchester paratrooper grilled over 'links to Syria' then kicked out of Turkey
A dad-of-three says he was booted out of Turkey and forced to fly back to the UK because he shares the same name as a man from Manchester who had terror charges against him dropped.
He told how the Turkish authorities stamped 'cancel' on his passport and he was forced to fly back, leaving a planned family holiday in tatters.After arriving home, Mr Burke said a friend of his daughter's found stories about another man also called Daniel Burke of the same age, reports the Mirror. Two weeks after the Manchester Arena bombing, in 2017, he travelled out to Syria to fight against so-called Islamic State with the Kurdish YPG militia, but after he returned to the UK, he found himself arrested, charged with terror offences and locked up at HMP Wandsworth prison in London - where he was wrongly labelled as a jihadi by other prisoners.
The other Mr Burke, of Bishop Auckland, County Durham, had in to Turkey from Newcastle for a break in Fethiye with his partner, their 15-month-old baby girl and his daughter, 14, and son, nine.
