The body of an eight-year-old girl who had been missing in Turkey for 19 days has been found after an enormous manhunt, the interior minister said on Sunday.
She disappeared on August 21, sparking a huge search effort in Turkey, with a number of well-known figures joining a social media campaign called “Find Narin”.
The body of Narin Guran was found in a river in the southeastern province of Diyarbakir, around 1km from the village where she lived with her family, according to Turkish news channel NTV.
President Tayyip Erdogan has said he would seek the most severe punishment for those responsible for the death of Narin Guran, whose body was found in a village near Diyarbakir, the largest city in southeast Turkey.
“Unfortunately, the lifeless body of Narin, who went missing in the village of Tavsantepe…has been found,” Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunc said on X that “those responsible for Narin’s death will be brought to justice”.
