A man murders his ex-wife while recording it live, kills two people and finally commits suicide
A man has shot his ex-wife to death while broadcasting all the images of the murder on an Instagram live. Immediately afterwards, he has killed two men and injured three other people before committing suicide. Everything has happened this Friday in the north of Bosnia-Herzegovina, as reported by the Prosecutor's Office of the northern canton of Tuzla.
The perpetrator of the crime, identified as Nermin Sulejmanovic, “shot his former wife and two men, father and son, with a pistol. He injured a policeman, another man and a woman” in different places in the city of Gradacac, the Prosecutor's Office said in a statement. According to the Bosnian portal 'Klix', the injured woman is in critical condition, hospitalized in Tuzla.
The footage was removed from the social network
The attacker filmed and broadcast live the moment in which he killed his ex-wife with a shot to the head. In other images, while he was on the run, he commented on the other murders he had committed, before committing suicide after being cornered by police officers. Subsequently, the footage was removed from the social network by the Bosnian authorities.
Local media claim Sulejmanovic had a criminal record. So far, the motive for the multiple crime that has shocked Bosnian society and has sparked protests by activists and citizens has not been revealed.
In the cities of Sarajevo and Mostar, the protesters who took to the streets demanded a more effective fight against sexist violence and more severe penalties for the perpetrators of femicides.. In addition, they claimed to have information that the murdered woman had filed a complaint for domestic violence and they speculate that this step could have triggered the crime, which is why they ask that they also investigate how the information about the complaint could have reached her ex-husband. .
