H.E.T. stated that her sister last left home in April last year and was working in bars in Eskişehir, and that she had not heard from her since that date.
Nagihan Uyğur THE BODY WAS FOUND IN A WELL FILLED WITH CONCRETE Following the missing person's report, the Kütahya Police Department's Homicide Bureau teams launched a comprehensive investigation into the incident. Statements were taken from many people, including relatives and friends. Police teams learned that Nagihan Uyğur was killed in the house where she stayed with her uncle Yaşar T. after her two sisters and mother Hatice Uyğur went to prison. Police teams that went to the address on Dutlu Street in the Börekçiler neighborhood detected an abnormal area on the ground floor of the two-story building. Under the instruction of the Public Prosecutor's Office, police, AFAD, and crime scene investigation teams conducted an excavation in the well covered with concrete, where the body of Nagihan Uyğur, who was reported missing, was found.
THE HOUSE WHERE THE BODY WAS FOUND WAS SOLD FOR 1 MILLION LIRA After the police investigation, Nagihan Uyğur's body was taken to the hospital morgue for autopsy procedures. It was determined that the house where Nagihan Uyğur's body was found was sold to someone else for 1 million lira in August 2024.

(35), his brother-in-law Osman Ç. (37), Havva Eylül T. (40), Fatma Ç. (62), Efe Sıktı T. (20), Halil T. (23), and Nagihan's sister G.U. (15) were taken into custody. After their statements were taken at the Kütahya Police Department, the 9 suspects were referred to the Kütahya Courthouse. The sister G.U. was released after her statement, while the other suspects were arrested and sent to prison for the crime of 'intentional killing.'
MOTHER AND UNCLE, SUSPECTED KILLERS Moreover, it was learned that uncle Yaşar T. was a fugitive in the investigation regarding the murder of Nagihan Uyğur's father Mehmet Uyğur in 2011 in Hatay and was captured and imprisoned last February, and that in the same investigation, Nagihan Uyğur's mother Hatice Uyğur confessed to killing her husband with a gun and burying him, and was arrested in 2018. It was noted that the family moved to Kütahya after the murder in 2011, following Gaziantep and Antalya.
ALLEGATION OF "MEETING AND EXECUTION DECISION" In the statements in the investigation file, it was alleged that the murdered Nagihan Uyğur was sexually abused by her uncle Yaşar T. during the period they lived in the same house, and that this situation was also known by family relatives. It was also learned that uncle Yaşar T.'s two wives, one of whom was legally married, did not accept this situation and did not want the young girl in the house. Allegedly, in September 2023, a meeting was held in the house led by Yaşar T. At this meeting, a 'execution' decision was made for Nagihan Uyğur, and it was claimed that uncle Yaşar T. and his arrested relatives strangled the young girl with a rope and then threw her into the well, covering it with concrete.
