Gülistan Doku investigation uncovers new evidence, 15 detained

Turkish authorities have detained 15 additional suspects in the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of university student Gülistan Doku, who has been missing since January 2020. The suspects were arrested in multiple locations across Turkey, including Elazığ, Malatya, Tunceli, Ankara, and Istanbul, under the coordination of local prosecutor offices. Among the detainees are family members of former officials, healthcare professionals, IT specialists, and others connected to the case. Investigators allege that Doku sought medical attention due to potential pregnancy, and her records were intentionally deleted. New evidence suggests her body may have been deliberately buried or destroyed. This phase of the investigation follows prior arrests of 17 suspects, some of whom were later released under judicial supervision. A fugitive linked to the case was recently detained in the U.S.

Police detain 15 new suspects in university student murder probe

Turkish police detained 15 new suspects across five provinces on July 21 as part of an ongoing murder investigation into university student Gülistan Doku, who disappeared in January 2020. The suspects include a former governor’s wife, medical professionals, and an IT company owner allegedly involved in tampering with Doku’s phone. Authorities later classified her disappearance as a homicide after reviewing over 700 hours of surveillance footage. The case led to the arrest of the former governor and his son, along with Doku’s ex-boyfriend. Women’s rights groups have protested the case, calling for judicial transparency.
