Gjilan court orders detention in Demiraj double murder case

Overview

Authorities in the village of Demiraj, near Gjilan, Kosovo, are investigating the deaths of 27-year-old Adonis Demiri and his three-month-old daughter. The bodies were discovered in a private home on November 1.

Following a request from the Basic Prosecution in Gjilan, the Basic Court in Gjilan has ordered a one-month pre-trial detention for 65-year-old Brahim Demiri. The suspect is accused of serious murder and unauthorized weapons possession. Prosecutors allege that following a physical conflict in the early hours of November 1, the suspect beat his son with fists and a hard object before allegedly strangling him with a rope.

A three-month-old infant was found lifeless in the bed of the deceased father with signs of violence and bloodstains. While prosecutors suspect the grandfather may be responsible for the infant's death, new details from prosecution files suggest the 27-year-old son may have been responsible for the infant's death prior to the conflict with his father. Additionally, the suspect's wife, Habibe Demiri, is under suspicion for allegedly assisting in the crime.

The suspect’s lawyer, Granit Syla, stated that his client “does not admit to the criminal offense” and denies the charges. The court justified the detention by noting the risk that the suspect could influence witnesses or coordinate statements if released. Autopsies are being conducted by the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Pristina to determine the exact cause of death and motive.
