In Diyarbakır, the investigation into the death of 48-year-old Sedat Karagöz has progressed to the judicial stage. Karagöz disappeared in late March 2025, and his body was subsequently recovered from the Dicle River by AFAD search teams. An autopsy conducted by the Turkish Forensic Medicine Institute identified the cause of death as gunshot-related skull fractures, brain hemorrhage, and tissue damage.

Following an analysis of security camera footage, Necati Çetin, described as a drug-dependent individual, was arrested and charged with intentional homicide. While Çetin has denied the accusations, the case is currently being heard in the 8th Heavy Penal Court, with testimony from the victim’s mother suggesting the suspect’s drug use played a role in the killing.
