In the case regarding the murder of 8-year-old Narin Güran in Diyarbakır, defendant Enes Güran, who received a sentence of aggravated life imprisonment, has challenged the local court's decision. One of Güran's lawyers, Mahir Akbilek, submitted an appeal petition to the 8th High Criminal Court to be forwarded to the Diyarbakır Regional Court of Justice.
The petition recalled that the defendant was sentenced to aggravated life imprisonment on December 28, 2024, for the crime of "intentional killing of a child in complicity," and argued that the verdict was contrary to the law.
"WE REQUEST THE REVERSAL OF THE VERDICT"
In the conclusion and request section of the application, it was requested that the verdict be overturned following a hearing, and that an acquittal be granted for the defendant Güran. The petition further emphasized that if this request is not accepted, the local court's decision should be reversed and the defendant should be released.
The defendant's lawyers also requested, as an alternative, the application of all legal provisions that could be evaluated in favor of the defendant.
WHAT HAPPENED?
In the final hearing of the case held at the Diyarbakır 8th High Criminal Court on December 28, 2024, detained defendants mother Yüksel, brother Enes, and uncle Salim Güran were each sentenced to aggravated life imprisonment for the crime of "intentional killing of a child in complicity," while Nevzat Bahtiyar was sentenced to 4 years and 6 months in prison for "destroying, concealing, or altering evidence of a crime." The 944-page reasoned decision was announced on January 23.
