Gjilan double murder: Brahim Demiri detained for killing son and grandchild

Brahim Demiri, 65, has been placed in one-month detention following a double murder in the village of Demiraj, near Gjilan, Kosovo. Authorities suspect Demiri killed his 27-year-old son, Adonis Demiri, and his three-month-old grandchild after a physical altercation.

According to prosecution files, the suspect allegedly struck his son with fists and a hard object before strangling him with a rope. The infant was discovered dead in the bed of the late Adonis Demiri, showing signs of violence and bloodstains. Investigators are examining whether the 27-year-old father was responsible for the infant's death prior to the conflict with his own father.

Demiri faces charges of serious murder and illegal possession of weapons. A second individual, Habibe Demiri, is also under investigation for allegedly aiding in the crime. The investigation remains ongoing as forensic results and autopsy reports are awaited.
