He tried to sexually abuse me before killing Sabine. Former Albanian wife Koci Peaceaj

But 45-year-old said she had never imagined that Peaceaj would commit such a terrible crime. Ghergisan, who lived in Eastbourne with Millaj, has now returned to her native Romania. In a proposal for the Daily Mail she said: “It's very difficult for me to find the words to tell Sabine's family, because I'm just as shocked by what he did. I too have a 26-year-old daughter and she can feel their pain. I have a lot of pain in my heart, and I feel very lonely without any help. I'm so sorry that so many people got hurt because of him. I never believed he was able to kill. )

Ghergisan, a Sanitarian and belly Dancer, said that Millaj became a different and violent man several weeks before the murder. She left home last August after he attacked her because she had not opened her phone while at work.

There were times when I was afraid to stay in the same house with him because I was afraid of my life. He tried to kill me three times, but the last time I was scared. He came home from work and put his hands around me, screaming at me, why didn't you answer the phone? ) I was in bed, shocked. He then released me but did not apologize. I was his first victim, but something stopped him from killing me. ”- it showed.

The two later had limited contact until the day of the murder, when Salaj had asked her to have sex in the east-town car park where she worked. Ghergisan said: “He was very anxious and impatient and I had never seen him before. I saw a bottle of alcohol in his car and I felt the smell in his breath. He was not drunk, but he behaved very strangely. He tried to have sex with me in his car, but I said no, so he left and I went back to work. ”

She returned home on September 25, eight days after killing Sabine Nessa and the night before his arrest. The only thing that was weird was that he had new shoes, and he rarely changed shoes. He only buys new ones when he's fucked up.”

Ghergisan said Salajn met at an Albanian wash. The couple were married in November 2018 after much pressure from Peaceaj. By marrying Ghergisan, he would be able to stay in the United Kingdom. Ghergisan said: He married me for the letters. He told me different ways. I remember that nine months after we started a relationship, he pressured me into marriage, saying that if I loved him, I should marry him. ”
