The lifeless body of Narin Güran (8), who went missing in the Bağlar district of Diyarbakır on August 21, was found in the Eğertutmaz Stream, approximately 2 kilometers from the village, on the 19th day of the search operations.
According to the news in DHA, the incident took place in the rural Tavşantepe Neighborhood of Bağlar district in the afternoon of August 21.
When Narin Güran, who was attending a Quran course, did not return home after leaving, her family searched for her using their own means. When the search conducted with the villagers did not yield any results, Narin’s father Arif Güran went to the gendarmerie station at around 20:00 on the same day and reported his daughter missing.
Thereupon, Bağlar Gendarmerie Command, Bağlar Public Security Commando Company Command, Gendarmerie Special Operations teams, Gendarmerie Crime Investigation Teams (JASAT), Intelligence Branch Directorate, Dog Tracking Team and Underwater Search and Rescue Team, as well as health, AFAD, Diyarbakır Metropolitan Municipality Underwater Search teams and search and rescue teams from district municipalities were dispatched to the region.
Around 150 vehicles that were detected passing on the road during the hours Narin went missing were questioned. Searches were conducted in the houses in the neighborhood and in the vehicles that entered the village. A total of 12,565 vehicles were searched, 130 people were questioned, 32,952 people were checked, and an area of more than 11 thousand acres was searched with 7 tracking dogs.

The images, which show 15:15 on August 21, show Narin walking with 4 friends and then leaving and heading home using the hill road. During the search operations, 2 different children’s slippers were found 3 kilometers from the Güran family’s house on August 22 and 2 kilometers from the house on August 28. However, it was determined that neither slipper belonged to Narin Güran according to her family’s statement.
As part of the investigation, Narin Güran’s older brother, EG (18), was detained due to bite marks on his arm. After examination at the Istanbul Forensic Medicine Institute, it could not be determined whether the bite marks belonged to Narin, and EG was released.
HIS UNCLE WAS ARRESTED
As part of the investigation, Narin’s uncle, Salim Güran, who is also the headman of the rural Tavşantepe neighborhood, was taken into custody.

After the procedures at the gendarmerie, Salim Güran was taken to the courthouse in an armored vehicle and arrested by the court on August 2nd for the crimes of “deliberate murder” and “deprivation of liberty.”
As part of the work, the gendarmerie, accompanied by the investigating prosecutor, also conducted a search using an underground imaging device in the neighborhood cemetery, especially in the graves of those buried recently.
