In Diyarbakır, 17-year-old Yaren Erkaplan, who was 9 months pregnant, was found shot in the head at her home. The young woman, who was taken to the hospital, lost her life along with her baby. It has been suggested that she may have taken her own life due to her husband's jealousy, which prevented her from going outside.
A heartbreaking death incident occurred in the apartment in the Yeşilburç neighborhood of the Lice district in Diyarbakır. Yaren Erkaplan was married religiously to D.S. (23) when she was 16 years old. According to allegations, 9 months pregnant Yaren Erkaplan shot herself in the head with her husband's gun while she was alone at home.

When D.S. came home and couldn't open the door, he realized it was locked from the inside and reported the situation to the 112 Emergency Call Center. Following the report, health, fire, and police teams were dispatched to the address. The teams broke the window and entered the house, finding Erkaplan shot in the head. Yaren and her baby, who were severely injured, were taken to Lice State Hospital and then to Dicle University Hospital, but they could not be saved.
