Mother and Brother Charged with "Involvement in Intentional Homicide"

Yüksel and Enes Güran are charged with “participation in intentional homicide,” while uncle Fuat Güran faces charges of "destroying evidence." The other five suspects have been charged with "harboring a criminal and destroying evidence."

Total Number of Detainees Rises to 10

Four suspects, including Narin's uncles Kurtuluş and Ömer Faruk Güran, her cousin Melike Güran, and a minor employee of Salim Güran, were released under judicial control. With these latest developments, the number of detainees in the investigation has risen to 10.

What Happened?

Narin Güran went missing on August 21, sparking a search effort. On September 2, her uncle Salim Güran, who is also the head of the Tavşantepe neighborhood, was arrested as part of the investigation. Diyarbakır Governor Murat Zorluoğlu later confirmed that Narin’s body had been found on September 8, hidden in a sack near the creek, covered with stones and branches to make it appear natural.

In earlier developments, a suspect named Nevzat Bahtiyar (48) alleged that Salim Güran had offered him 200,000 TL to dispose of Narin’s body in the creek. Bahtiyar claimed that Salim threatened to kill him and his family if he refused. Bahtiyar was arrested on September 10 for "participation in intentional homicide."

Additionally, a local imam was questioned and later released, while 22 other suspects were brought to court. Nine, including Narin's mother and brother, were referred for arrest, and three were released under judicial control. Narin’s father, Arif Güran, and 10 others were also released.
