The investigation conducted by the Diyarbakır Chief Public Prosecutor's Office into the murder of 8-year-old Narin Güran, who went missing on August 21 in the rural Tavşantepe neighborhood of Diyarbakır's central Bağlar district and whose lifeless body was found on September 8 in the Eğertutmaz Stream, 2 kilometers from the village, continues.
8 SUSPECTS ARRESTED, 14 PEOPLE RELEASED WITH JUDICIAL CONTROL
As part of the investigation, 22 suspects were brought to the Diyarbakır Courthouse yesterday.
During the interrogation process, which lasted over 25 hours, 8 people—including Narin's mother Yüksel, her brother Enes, her uncle Fuat Güran, and 2 cousins and her sister-in-law—were arrested and sent to prison, while 14 people, including her father Arif Güran, were released, 4 of them under judicial control measures.
REASONS FOR THE ARREST OF THE MOTHER AND BROTHER
The Diyarbakır 4th Criminal Court of Peace cited 'contradictions in the statements given by the suspects at various stages' as the reason for the arrest of the mother and son.
In the decision, which stated that judicial control measures would be insufficient for the suspects, the following expressions were included:
“Considering the current state of evidence in the file indicating the existence of strong suspicion of a crime regarding the charge of 'intentional killing of a child' against suspects Enes Güran and Yüksel Güran, the contradictions in the statements given by the suspects at various stages, the fact that the suspects' accounts of the day Narin went missing do not corroborate each other, the fact that the forensic medicine report has not yet returned, and the fact that many suspects and witnesses have provided contradictory statements; given the possibility of tampering with evidence, HTS records, and the entire scope of the file, which creates a strong suspicion based on concrete evidence regarding the crime charged; and considering the amount of the sentence they would receive if found guilty at the end of the trial, it is understood that the valid grounds for suspicion provided for in Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights, the strong evidence indicated in Article 19 of the 1982 Constitution, and the concrete evidence indicating strong suspicion of a crime provided for in Article 100/I of the Criminal Procedure Code (CMK) exist. Since the lower and upper limits of the sentence provided for in the law for the alleged crime and the proportionality of arrest measures in relation to the expected sentence make judicial control measures insufficient, it has been decided that the suspects be arrested separately in accordance with Article 100 of the CMK.”
