Salim Güran: How can I do this to my brother? Am I dishonorable?

Ten days after being killed, the lifeless body of 8-year-old Narin Güran, found in a sack in the riverbed in the Bağlar district of Diyarbakır, was brought before the judge for the first time in the investigation into her murder. On the first day of the hearing, it was the turn of the number one suspect, uncle Salim Güran, to give his statement.

"I HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP WITH YÜKSEL"

The presiding judge asked Salim Güran about the claim made by the informant Nevzat Bahtiyar, "Was there a relationship between Narin's mother Yüksel and Salim?" Salim Güran replied, "I am Salim Güran, how could I do this to my brother? Am I a coward? Am I dishonorable? Nevzat Bahtiyar, tell the truth now."

When the presiding judge asked, "Does Nevzat have the capacity to plan this? Why is he only accusing you, why is he accusing Yüksel?" uncle Güran responded, "No, but he watched everything on television and set it up. To save himself. How could I kill 8-year-old Narin, the angel?"

Claiming that he did not kill Narin Güran and did not know who did, Salim Güran responded to the question, "Did you suspect Nevzat in the last 15-20 days?" with, "I did not suspect, but when the gendarmerie called me, they asked if I had any problems with anyone, I mentioned Nevzat Bahtiyar as a small issue."

"I NEVER ENTERED ARIF'S HOUSE"

• Presiding Judge: Have you ever entered Arif's house?
• Salim Güran: I have never entered Arif's house; I can show it as my house is nearby.
• Presiding Judge: Then why did you delete the WhatsApp messages?

"I DELETED THE MESSAGES BECAUSE MY BROTHER'S BULLETS WERE CAUGHT"

• Salim Güran: My brother's 380 caliber bullets were caught. We were talking about that. That's why I deleted the WhatsApp messages.

• Presiding Judge: Did you guide the witnesses?
• Salim Güran: No.
• Presiding Judge: There is a call from Nevzat at 17:41 on WhatsApp web.
• Salim Güran: Absolutely not.

RECORDS IN THE INDICTMENT

• Presiding Judge: Is the Diyarbakır Chief Public Prosecutor's Office setting a trap for you? Why did you go to the place where Narin was killed at night?
• Salim Güran: I did not go, I do not know.

DENIED THE DNA CLAIM

• Female Prosecutor: You do not accept the DNA; I will tell you a sentence from the report: 'The DNA obtained from the clothes of Narin on the day of the incident is compatible with the DNA found in the vehicle.' Do you understand the depth of this sentence?"
• Salim Güran: There is no such thing.
• Judge: DNA was found in your car.
• Salim: The car door is broken; everyone's child gets into the car.
• Judge: Nevzat said there was DNA on the driver's seat, and he said Narin was foaming at the mouth.
• Could that foam have gotten on the car from your hand?
• Salim: Absolutely not. It was said that I carried Narin's body wrapped in a blanket at the gas station, but that turned out to be false.

"THERE IS NO RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ENES AND MY DAUGHTER"

• Judge: According to the HTS analysis report, you are at Arif Güran's house at 15:25.
• Salim Güran: I was at home at that time.
• Judge: You said you were in the field at that hour.
• Salim Güran: I was at home at that time.
• Judge: You spoke with Nevzat at 15:38.
• Salim: I do not remember.
• Judge: Is there a relationship between Enes and your daughter?
• Salim: Absolutely not; I have no relationship either. I would not do such dishonor to my brother. Nevzat, like a man, tell me while looking at me that you killed Narin.
• Judge: He says he did not kill her.
• Salim: Let him come out and say it.
