double homicide Gjilan shooting domestic violence Kosovo crime illegal weapons

A double homicide in the village of Livoç i Ulët, Gjilan, has shocked the local community. On October 9, 2026, Valon Ramushi allegedly shot and killed his wife, Nafije Bugujevci, 27, and her brother, Egzon Bugujevci, 31. A third individual, a 48-year-old relative of the wife, was seriously injured in the attack and was transferred to the University Clinical Center of Kosovo (QKUK) for intensive care.

Following the incident, the suspect surrendered to the authorities. During subsequent police searches of the suspect's properties, officials seized various weapons and ammunition, including two long guns with expired permits, a Beretta pistol with an expired permit, a pneumatic weapon, 520 bullets, and 1,600 airgun pellets.

The Basic Court in Gjilan has approved a request from the prosecution to place Valon Ramushi in pretrial detention for one month. He faces charges of aggravated murder and illegal possession of weapons. While the exact motive remains under investigation, local commentators and former President Atifete Jahjaga have highlighted the incident as a tragic example of the need to address gender-based violence and domestic issues within society.
