Narin's uncle Salim Güran: We kicked out DEM's food vehicle.

After being lost for 19 days in Diyarbakır, the lifeless body of Narin Güran (8), found in a sack in the riverbed, has led to a trial against the detained suspects, including her mother Yüksel, her brother Enes, and her uncle Salim Güran, as well as their neighbor Nevzat Bahtiyar, who are accused of 'Intentional murder of a child in complicity'. The second hearing of the trial is continuing on its second day.

"WE EXPELLED DEM'S FOOD TRUCK FROM THE VILLAGE"

Initially, uncle Salim Güran, who took the stand, said, "I am addressing the judge and state officials from here: Please initiate a comprehensive investigation into these law enforcement officers. We are not traitors. We expelled DEM's food truck from the village at one point. Even if I die of hunger, I will not eat that food; they are just after a show. I have a daughter younger than Narin. I swear my sister-in-law is dying for her children. You killed our daughter, you are insulting our honor, you are trying to destroy our family. This is injustice. Nevzat's lawyer took a photo with his wife. Fear God! My heart breaks when I see my brother. Do not play with our honor. I do not accept the accusations. I request my acquittal," he said.

Upon the court president's words, "Let's take your final defense, Salim, what will you say to the prosecutor's request?" uncle Salim Güran said:

"As usual, I went to the field in the morning. With Mehmet Selim and his son Ramazan. Then I went to the health center on the Bağlar side. I withdrew 4 thousand lira from the bank across from the Government House and gave it to the children. After that, I sat with my two sons in the tea house. Then I returned to the village from the same direction. I bought gasoline from the petrol station and came home. It was hot, I sat in front of the air conditioner with my wife and two sons, we ate and rested.

Later, I went to the upper field and checked on my work. At that time, electricians came and said they were there to check Mehmet Şerif's malfunction. We went with their car. I saw that the cotton was infested. The electricians mentioned the payment issue, and I asked to speak with my uncle's son. Ramazan called; he was dealing with field work, so I went to him. We sat there for a while. At the times when Narin went missing, my daughter called me and informed me of the situation. Mehmet Selim had come, and we went to the scene together. When I saw the crowd, I noticed that everyone was crying. I called the commander and said, 'My brother's daughter is missing, send a team.' However, the commander said he was on leave. I then told Sabri, 'Let's check the school's camera, the gendarmerie will come.'

Samet Hoca heard. Sabri brought the key, and a friend from the gendarmerie came. We examined the camera, and we saw my uncle's children walking with Narin and going up the path. We went to that area, looked at the place where the sheep were, but we couldn't find any trace. Before dawn, we went to my brother Barış's house. Barış's wife Yasemin shouted, 'I saw this beast in the morning!' (pointing to Nevzat Bahtiyar). I then said, 'Why are you not suspicious of him?'

HE ADMITTED THEY WENT TO THE TEACHER

Nevzat came home, and we discussed the car issue. I told him, 'The person you bought the vehicle from has gone to prison.' Nevzat said, 'I have no money.' Later, the community gathered, and we calculated the damage among us. Since Nevzat had no money, we said, 'You will do the plastering of our house.' After that, Nevzat took on this job and quoted 200 thousand lira for the plastering work. However, after this incident, we did not speak to Nevzat for 3 months. Normally, when he saw me in the field, he would come and sit with me. But for 3 months, he never came to me. After Narin went missing, we spoke with the gendarmerie. They told me, 'Let's check the 2 cameras in Dara.' The commander asked, 'How many roads are there?' They took me to some roads and did not take me to others. Later, the JASAT team came and said, 'We will examine all the cameras.' However, now the law enforcement is blaming the family but not mentioning their own shortcomings. They took statements, but why are they not examining the cameras at the times when Narin went missing? When they couldn't find anything, they started blaming the family.

"IT WAS SAID DNA WAS FOUND IN MY CAR"

Then it was said that DNA was found in my car. All the evidence was published in the media. The commander said, 'You went to the petrol station' and mentioned the blanket. I said, 'Commander, what are you saying?' They got up, arrested me, and put me in prison. I have never seen a prison in my life. I was watching television in prison, they say 'the informant,' 'code name N.B.' Who is this, I do not know.

Then I said 'Nevzat Bahtiyar.' Narin's body was found. I wanted to go to my niece's grave, but they did not let me. Because I was watching the events, they took the television away from me. The media destroyed a family. Why was I arrested? If they hadn't arrested me, Nevzat would have confessed. When Nevzat was caught, he said, 'Salim Güran.' He had learned everything from the media, blood, DNA, everything.

"EVERYONE USES THAT CAR"

They got up and took me back to the courthouse. Nevzat constantly says 'car' in his statement. Because he knows there is DNA in the car. He says, 'I came with the car.' He says, 'He gave it through the window,' but the window is broken. He says 'blanket,' referring to the blanket he heard from the media. They took the car for examination twice, and this time hair was found. My niece must have gotten into that car; after all, that car is not mine. Everyone uses that car.

It is unclear whether that DNA belongs to two months ago. But I am in prison because of that DNA. Now a base record has emerged. Can I be in two places at once? This is not possible. I am in the village, but the base record shows me by the riverbank. How can a base record come from a place I did not go?

There is a death involved, why such malice? I did not go to that area. Now where is the whole family? In prison. While we are struggling to find Narin, now our whole family is in prison. Father and son are in prison. But where are Nevzat Bahtiyar and his family members? Outside. They destroyed both our daughter and our family."
