Detention on remand is requested for two persons for aggravated murder and illegal possession of weapons

Gjilan, 13 November 2024 – The Basic Prosecutor’s Office in Gjilan, the Department for Serious Crimes, has submitted a request for the appointment of a measure of detention, on remand in the Basic Court in Gjilan, against the defendants V.S. and F.M., due to suspicion of the criminal offenses of “Aggravated Murder” and “Unauthorized Ownership, Control or Possession of Weapons” of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kosovo (CCRK).

According to the request, there is a well-founded suspicion that the defendants V.S. and F.M., on November 7, 2024, at around 1:55 p.m., on the “Mërgimtarët e Gjilani” street in Gjilan, deprived the now deceased S.O. of his life, in such a way that, after a prior agreement, they followed him by following him on bicycles, in which case after the deceased got out of the car, the defendants approached and from close proximity the defendant V.S. shot him once with a gun in the left side of his back, who died at the scene of the incident due to the wound. They then fled in an unknown direction.

With these actions, the same persons in complicity are suspected of having committed the criminal offense of “Aggravated murder” of the CCRK.

The defendant V.S. is also suspected of the criminal offense of “Unauthorized ownership, control or possession of weapons” of the CCRK, as he owned a firearm without authorization, which was seized.

The above-mentioned defendants are under 48-hour detention by order of the prosecutor.
