In the murder of 8-year-old Narin Güran, who was killed in Diyarbakır, the defendants Salim Güran, Yüksel Güran, and Enes Güran were sentenced to aggravated life imprisonment, while the defendant Nevzat Bahtiyar was given a 4-year and 6-month prison sentence. Following the verdict, Narin's father, Arif Güran, took action.
ARIF GÜRAN'S APPEAL AGAINST THE VERDICT
Arif Güran appealed the court's decision. In his petition, he objected to the Diyarbakır Bar Association's participation in the case and argued that the true killer was not identified in the court's decision. Güran asserted the following view: "As a result of the trial regarding the murder of Narin Güran, who is the apple of my eye, a definite and clear material truth could not be reached, and it could not be determined who the person or persons are that my client will hold accountable in this world and, according to his belief, in the afterlife."
"THE EVIDENCE ON NARIN'S BODY WAS NOT EXAMINED SUFFICIENTLY"
Arif Güran, who also objected to the forensic reports, claimed that the evidence collected from his daughter's body was not examined sufficiently. The petition included the following statements: "Positive results were obtained from the external swab sample of the underwear, the underwear, the purple skirt, and some stains detected on the scarf. Prostate-Specific Antigen was detected in the mentioned samples of semen and urine. The presence of PSA in semen and urine, as well as its detection in Narin Güran's private area, the purple skirt, and the scarf, should have been investigated, and this issue should have been pursued instead of being disregarded, which has harmed the goal of reaching the material truth. This issue needs to be examined in detail."
"THE SENTENCE GIVEN TO NEVZAT BAHTIYAR IS AGAINST THE LAW AND CONSCIENCE"
Arif Güran also appealed regarding the confessor defendant Nevzat Bahtiyar, arguing that Bahtiyar gave contradictory statements and was the actual killer. Güran stated: "The defendant Nevzat Bahtiyar, who stuffed Narin Güran's body into a bag and hid it by the riverbank, calmly went to drink tea with his sister-in-law, bought cheese from her, then performed his prayers, continued his normal life, participated in the search activities for the missing child, and tried to console the family, especially the father, that Narin Güran would be found, should be punished under Article 82/1-e of the Turkish Penal Code for the intentional murder of a child, rather than being sentenced for the crime of destroying evidence, which is against the law and conscience."
