«The investigation and work regarding our child Narin has reached its final stage,» Tunç told reporters in the northern city of Karabük on Oct. 20.

The case has gripped Türkiye following the discovery of Narin’s body in a stream near the eastern city of Diyarbakır’s Tavşantepe village on Sept. 8, days after a search was launched. Authorities confirmed she had been strangled to death on Aug. 21, the day she was reported missing.

«A comprehensive evidence collection effort was conducted from phone logs to parallel signal data and from Forensic Medicine reports to camera footage,» Tunç said. «Those who killed Narin will be held accountable before the courts.»

Investigators have determined that Narin was killed at her home in Diyarbakır in the presence of several family members, though no killer has been officially identified two months after her death.

Narin’s mother, Yüksel Güran, her brother, Enes Güran, her uncle, Salim Güran, and his wife, Hediye Güran, were all reportedly in the home at the time of the killing.
