Narin disappeared on August 21, sparking a huge search effort in Turkey, with a number of well-known figures joining a social media campaign called "Find Narin".
Soon after the body was found, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed profound sadness and said he would "personally follow the judicial process" so that those who took Narin's life received the harshest punishment.
