The report from Istanbul's Forensic Medicine Institute has determined that Narin Güran was killed by strangulation, pointing to bleeding in the anterior neck muscle and lower jaw, according to local media.

The investigation into the death of 8-year-old Narin Güran in the eastern city of Diyarbakır has exposed efforts by her family members to hinder the probe.

After 19 days of search, Narin's body was discovered on Sept. 8 in a stream, still dressed in the clothes she had been wearing when she disappeared.
