Gjilan, Kosovo: 65-year-old arrested in suspected double murder of son and infant

A 65-year-old man has been arrested in the village of Demiraj, near Gjilan, Kosovo, following the discovery of the bodies of a 27-year-old man and a three-month-old infant. The victims, identified as Adonis Demiri and his daughter, were found in a private home on the morning of November 1.

Kosovo Police and state prosecutors have reclassified the case from a suspicious death to a serious murder investigation. Preliminary findings suggest the incident occurred within the family circle. The suspect, the father of the 27-year-old and grandfather of the infant, has been detained for 48 hours. The bodies have been sent to the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Pristina for autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.

This incident is part of a series of violent crimes in the Gjilan region, which has seen five deaths in three separate murder cases over the past three weeks.
