The trial of the 8-year-old Narin Güran murder that deeply shook the entire city of Diyarbakır has come to an end. The Diyarbakır 3rd High Criminal Court has announced its final decision in the case that the public has been following closely for a long time. The court sentenced Yüksel Güran, Enes Güran and Salim Güran to aggravated life imprisonment for the crime of “deliberately killing a child with monstrous feelings towards him”, while Nevzat Bahtiyar, who had suspicious behavior related to the incident, was sentenced to 4 years and 6 months in prison for the crime of “not bringing about a solution and concealing evidence”. Reactions After the Verdict The court decision had different repercussions among the people of Diyarbakır. While some citizens thought the sentence was fair, others found the sentences inadequate. Many citizens in the city emphasized that justice must be served. Expressing his views after the verdict, Mehmet Büçge said, “I think God’s justice has been served. But I wish they would tell the public and people who the real murderer is in this case. This case is no longer a Güran family case, it has turned into a Turkey case. That is why it is an incident that has been on social media, among lawyers, judges, prosecutors and even gone as far as the President. As a result, I believe that the aggravated prison sentence given to 3 people was the right decision. In the sentence given to Nevzat Bahtiyar, as you know, there are certain rights granted to informants in the laws of the Republic of Turkey. As an informant, Nevzat Bahtiyar has reached the conclusion of this incident by receiving the minimum sentence,” he said. “IT IS A SCANDALOUS IN MY OPINION” Eşref Duran, who argued that the decision was not a deterrent, used the following statements: “I want to say this. Actually, in my opinion, this is a scandal. The sentence given to Nevzat Bahtiyar is nothing. In my opinion, it is a scandal that a man who changed his statement 5 times was given a 4 and a half year prison sentence. At least they did this together. They lost this child together, I would have wanted him to receive a sentence like the others. If we look at the other side, again no one was found guilty among them, another scandal in Turkey, if the great Republic of Turkey cannot find the perpetrator of a child after all these months, this is a scandal in my opinion. It would be better if it was revealed who killed this child, why they killed him, why he was killed and enlightened the public on this issue. I believe that Nevzat also received a short sentence. I would like him to receive a sentence like them so that such things do not happen to these children again.” “THE SCALES OF JUSTICE WERE JUST TOO TIPPED” İkram Seykan, one of the retired citizens who expressed that they welcomed the decision, said, “I welcome this decision positively. Our delicate girl’s blood was not left unavenged, justice was served. For the first time, the scales of justice weighed correctly. That is why we are happy about this, but I think a light sentence was given to Nevzat. He has nothing to do with the murder, but we are upset that they gave Nevzat a low sentence, other than that, the scales of justice were just too tight.” “MAY GOD NOT LET AN EVENT LIKE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN” The philanthropist known as Robin Hood from Diyarbakır, Yılmaz Acu, said, “However, killing a person is like killing the universe, this is a hadith. How a child grows up, grows up in very difficult conditions. Let’s say that justice was served in the Narin incident. At least, this is how justice works in our country. I find the punishment even too little. How can they kill a baby, a child, a life that they have no conscience or mercy. I think this punishment is even too little, I think the death penalty should have been given. Because, this incident has been going on for months like the Bermuda Triangle, it has darkened our hearts and deeply saddened us all. Not me, not Diyarbakır, not Turkey, but the whole world is saddened by this situation. May God never let such an incident happen again. It is our wish. Everyone should take care of their children because life is hard, life is hard and the pain of losing a child is even harder. May God not let anyone suffer the pain of losing a child. Regarding the punishment given to Nevzat Bahtiyar, since the research conducted by our state, judges and the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office is clear and definitive, they have deemed this punishment appropriate. It would not be right to say much about that. Those who received this punishment will serve their sentences and be held accountable to God,” he said. Reactions on Social Media The decision of the case also received wide coverage on social media. While thousands of comments were made on social media, most users did not find the decision sufficient. Some comments shared the view that “Justice has been served.” With this decision, Diyarbakır left the legal dimension of a heartbreaking incide
