Molins said 10 shots were fired — four into the head of one of the victims and three into the heads of the other two. The investigators said they found a bag in Guney’s car that had traces of gunpowder on it.

The conflict in Turkey between the PKK and government forces has claimed tens of thousands of lives since 1984.

At the time of the killings, Turkey was engaged in talks with the rebels’ jailed leader, Abdullah Ocalan, to persuade his group to disarm. Violence between Turkish security forces and the PKK flared up again in 2015 following the collapse of the fragile peace process.

In a joint statement, Cansiz’s brother and the two other victims’ fathers said “we, the victims’ families, will continue our fight for truth and justice. These killings aren’t the act of one single person. Those who commissioned them must also be identified and judged.”
