It is alleged that a day before the critical event, on January 22, 2025, the defendant and the deceased had planned to go to a villa in the mountains of the village of Burrnik, Ferizaj municipality, where they had been together before. After preparing food around 16:00, the defendant, together with an unidentified person, took the victim from his home using a white pickup truck. They drove to a location called ‘Te Podi,’ then continued on foot through the mountains toward the villa, where they stayed until the next afternoon. On their way back through the mountains of Pleshinë, they deviated from the path for unknown reasons and continued toward the road leading to the village of Manastirc. Near that village, for unknown reasons, the defendant deprived the deceased of life by shooting him in the head with the weapon the deceased had with him—a semi-automatic Kalashnikov rifle—causing fatal injuries, as confirmed by the autopsy report. Afterwards, the defendant covered the victim’s body with soil, wood, and bushes. On February 5, 2025, the body was found by local citizens. This act constitutes the criminal offense of ‘Aggravated Murder’ under Article 173, Paragraph 1, Subparagraph 1.4 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kosovo,” the Basic Prosecutor’s Office in Ferizaj stated.
