"Rojin Kabayish's murder case becomes ambiguous after forensic report."
The supplementary report by the Turkish Forensic Institute (ATK) ruled out contamination in the DNA samples found on Rojin Kabayish’s body, confirming that the samples belong to unidentified individuals unrelated to those handling the body
News Center – After 18 days of her disappearance in the city of Van, in Northern Kurdistan, the body of university student Rojin Kabayish, from Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, was found, sparking widespread questions about the circumstances of her mysterious death. Investigations are still ongoing to uncover the details surrounding the incident.
The circumstances surrounding the death of university student Rojin Kabayish, from Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, remain unclear, with investigations continuing into the case. Despite two men being mentioned in the preliminary report issued by the Turkish Forensic Institute (ATK), their identities have not yet been revealed. Recently, a supplementary report was added to the case file, requested by the institute in collaboration with the Van and Diyarbakır Bar Associations, Rojin Kabayish's family lawyer, and the Ministry of Justice, in an attempt to clarify the details surrounding her death.
The Mesopotamia Agency reported that the earlier supplementary report confirmed the exclusion of contamination in the DNA samples, a point previously highlighted in the initial report by the Turkish Forensic Institute.
The Turkish Anti-Corruption Agency, which had previously mentioned the possibility of contamination in its supplementary report, indicated that DNA samples were taken from 134 individuals, including those present during the autopsy, those who discovered the body, and those involved in transporting the body to the hospital, as well as individuals who had communicated with Rojin Kabayish (university students and other friends).
The report clarified that the possibility of contamination in the two DNA samples found on Rojin Kabayish’s body had been ruled out, after it was determined that these samples did not match any of the DNA samples collected from the 134 people who had interacted with or handled the body. The results confirmed that the DNA belonged to unidentified individuals, unrelated to those involved in the procedures surrounding the incident.
A Phase of Ambiguity
The report revealed that the prosecutor's office is in the process of evaluating and comparing the DNA samples of the suspects in an effort to determine the identity of those whose DNA was discovered on Rojin Kabayish's body.
The report has raised concerns about the case entering a phase of ambiguity, especially in the absence of decisive evidence. Legal experts believe that data stored on Rojin Kabayish's phone could be the key to solving the mystery of her death and uncovering the details surrounding it
