Attack on Rojin Kabaiş's uncle. Four masked people beat him, saying "Drop the case"

Abdurrahman Karabulut, the lawyer of the Kabaiş family, said that four masked people in Istanbul shouted "Leave the Rojin case." He claimed that they attacked Rojin's uncle Ahmet Kabaiş.

The lawyer stated that the attackers also threatened Rojin's father, Nizamettin Kabaiş, and fled the scene.

Lawyer Abdurrahman Karabulut said that the attackers should be caught and receive the necessary punishment.

The family of Rojin Kabaiş, whose lifeless body was found 19 days after she disappeared two years ago, says that their daughter was the victim of murder since the first day.

WHAT IS KNOWN ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION?

The Kabaiş family has been trying to find out what happened to their daughter for years.

21-year-old Rojin Kabaiş; She was a first-year student at Van Yüzüncü Yıl University (VYÜ) Child Development Department. On September 27, 2024, while talking on the phone with her mother in the girls' dormitory on the university campus, she said that she was going to the market.

The next day at noon, the police called the family and informed them that their daughter had not returned home.

On September 28, 2024, a young girl's mobile phone, headphones, cake and a bottle of water were found on the shore of Lake Van.

Rojin's lifeless body was seen two weeks later, 24 kilometers away, on the beach of Molla Kasım Village on the shores of Lake Van. The people who found the body were a cleaning worker and the caretaker of the surrounding site.

The clothes were okay, but the yellow slippers were missing.

Rojin's highly encrypted phone was sent to the Istanbul Forensic Medicine Institute for examination. Since the password of the phone could not be cracked, the information on it could not be accessed.

On October 10, 2025, the report prepared by the Biological Specialization Department of the Forensic Medicine Institute was entered into the file. It was revealed that DNA belonging to two different men was detected in Kabaiş's chest and vagina area.

It was reported that the DNA profiles of 195 people were examined within the scope of the investigation, and this number later increased to 413 upon the instructions of the Ministry of Justice.

The file was transferred to the Unsolved Crimes Investigation Department in May. Minister of Justice Akın Gürlek met with Rojin's father, Nizamettin Kabaiş, on the same days.

"Rojin is a young girl in the prime of her life whose future, hopes and dreams have been left unfinished. As the state, we will pursue this matter to the end." Gürlek stated that they are trying to do whatever they can and continued as follows:

"This is the purpose of establishing this unit. To go to the end, especially in unsolved murders. The incident is not clear. Murder or suicide? We need to solve this. This is already our subject. The prosecutor's office needs to determine this. Suicide or murder. You, as the family, think it is murder. Of course, all issues in this regard must be investigated to the smallest detail."
