The Council of Judges and Prosecutors (HSK), the oversight body of the judicial system in Turkey, have opened an investigation regarding the death of Rabia Naz upon a request by Şaban Vatan, the late girl's father, for an examination by an inspector.
The Council treated Vatan's application as a priority, moving it forward on its agenda. After the meeting on the application yesterday (April 11), it decided to give permission for an examination.
Accordingly, inspectors by the HSK will oversee the process and will examine Vatan's claims regarding the investigation.
What happened?Rabia Naz Vatan was found injured in front of her home in Eynesil, Giresun on April 13, 2018. While the police records said that the girl committed suicide by jumping from the terrace of her family's home, her father claimed that she was killed. "A car hit my daughter but the hit was not strong enough to result in her death. Those who hit Rabia Naz then brought her near my house to make the incident look like my daughter committed suicide. My daughter lost her life because of blood loss," he said. Vatan said that the person who hit her daughter by a car was the nephew of Eynesil Mayor Coşkun Somuncuoğlu, according to the information he obtained. Vatan also claimed that the case was covered up after the ruling Justice and Development Party's (AKP) Giresun MP Nurettin Canikli intervened in. Minister of Interior Süleyman Soylu met with Vatan in February on the killing of his daughter. He told bianet after that the meeting took 10 minutes. Giresun Chief Public Prosecutor's Office said on Mach 20 that the Görele Chief Public Prosecutor's Office is currently conducting the investigation into the incident and the search for evidence is still continuing. On March 21, Şaban Vatan was taken into custody upon the complaint of his brother and referred to a mental institution for a mental health check. Father Vatan was then released from detention the next day, on March 22. On March 26, father Vatan deposed at the security directorate upon the criminal complaint of AKP MP Nurettin Canikli On April 10, the Giresun Penal Court of Peace has ruled that Şaban Vatan shall be hospitalized in Samsun Mental Health Institution to determine whether he is mentally sound or not. |
