The woman who killed her brother-in-law in Pristina says she was constantly threatened by him and her husband

The Foundation Court in Pristina has assigned the 1 month detention measure to suspect N. M, 56-year-old for the murder of her brother-in-law, J.M., on the evening of August 20th in Pristina's Tandra district.

She is suspected of serious murder and illegal possession, where she reportedly shot ten times in her house corridor.

The Basic Prosecutor in Pristina, the Crime Department, the request for the detention measure, has argued on legal reasons because there is a suspicion that the defendant committed the burden-on-burdened criminal work.

The prosecution, at the hearing session held on August 21st, 2024, has said that the suspicion rests on evidence such as the Police report, statements of witnesses and the damaged party.

According to the prosecution, there is the danger that if the defendant is released, he will prevent the successful development of investigations, affecting witnesses that this prosecutor has not yet heard.

Similarly, the prosecution has argued that, given the burden of criminal activity and the way it is carried out, family reports are at risk that the same could repeat criminal work.

Therefore, according to the prosecution, it is necessary to appoint the detention measure, as with no alternative measure will be achieved to ensure its presence in this criminal case.

The defender of the suspect, lawyer Hysen Berisha, has asked for measures with tenderness, such as being presented at the police station, or the house arrest measure saying the defendant cannot possibly influence witnesses or material evidence because all of these are available to the police and Prosecutor's body.

Suspected, N.M. before the court has been declared to be with therapy for healing the disease and that there are problems because it is traumatised

She had also stated that she had not slept all night because of the canning and constant threats from her husband and brother - in - law, since her husband had been influenced by brother - in - law, where they have repeatedly reviled and offended her.

She had added anxiety and depression for which she was treated and has all medical records.

The trial of the preliminary procedure, Fatime Drmaku, has argued that the Prosecutor's proposal, founded, convincing and sufficiently argued about this phase. The defendant's defender, however, has not convinced the court of alternative measures.

The court has estimated that the key condition is met that at this stage of the procedure there is doubt that the N.M. defendant has committed the criminal acts he suspected of.

For the court's detention, according to the court's decision there is credible reason that the suspect will prevent the course of criminal procedure and there is the risk of influence on witnesses, because he has family members and he will try to manipulate them to testify in her favor. Also, other material evidence would likely eliminate or hide them so as to flee criminal responsibility.

The court estimates that other criteria have been met, which are the circumstances of carrying out the criminal act.

The alleged “has had her husband's brother, her husband's brother, and her personal characteristics, which consistently during the hearing in a very professional way attempts to put her in line with her state of health to flee serious criminal responsibility”, the court's reasoning said.

According to the detention decision, the defendant allegedly shot ten times in the corridor of their house because of family problems, the defendant deliberately deprived her brother-in-law of life, now the late J.M., with a “Girson Compact MC” gun that caused the injured wound had passed away at the scene.

The defendant, he had claimed to have applied for obtaining gun permits, which at the time of the criminal offence had not yet been possessed.

“ ...Fat that determines the character of the defendant regarding the possession and control of the weapon in her home, her family, because the same had not had any high state position, or was a well-known businessman, or that he would be a dangerous person to possess the” weapon, is said to be further rational.

Thus, according to the court, these are reasonable circumstances for the appointment of the detention measure. /Betimy for Justice
