The widow of a publican killed by Turkish thugs is looking to sell the pub he ran after trying to keep it going since his death.

Susan Speight, from Farsley, asked Leeds magistrates for a transfer of licence as she tries to get rid of the Bay Horse, which her late husband Kevin ran for 18 months.

Mr Speight was stabbed to death during clashes in Istanbul on April 6, the day before he was due to watch his beloved Leeds United play Turkish team Galatasaray in the UEFA Cup.

Mrs Speight had earlier said that although selling the pub would be a heartbreak, she had never had much to do with it while her husband was alive and did not know how to run it properly.

She appeared at the magistrates court for the second time to ask for the transfer and had her case adjourned until October 12.

The family's solicitor, Phillip Howell, said after the hearing: "We are still going through the procedures at this moment.

"Mrs Speight is still looking to transfer the licence and eventually sell the pub, but there is nothing more to say than that at the moment."

Mr Speight was killed along with Leeds man Chris Loftus during the clashes in the country's capital.

The murder case is currently going through the Turkish courts.

Four men have been charged with the stabbings and the case, which last appeared in an Istanbul court on August 1, will reopen on September 19. Three of the men have been released on bail and one is being held in custody.

An inquest into Mr Speight's death was opened in April in Leeds but has been adjourned until the end of the trial.
