Through a social media post TikTok It is alleged that three people (Granit Plava, Naim Murseli and Kushtrim Kokalla) were sentenced to life imprisonment.
"Latest News. Sentenced to Life Imprisonment, there is now a state, Bravo Kosovo, bravo..", writes in the video published by the account "pograddeccii". Under the text are photos of the three people in question.
The truth?
On Friday (January 31), the Basic Court in Pristina did not reach a decision against the three defendants in this case. Today, only the initial hearing was held against Naim Murseli, Granit Plavë, Kushtrim Kokalla and Tom Dodajt, who are charged with the murder of Liridona Ademaj on November 29, 2023.
In this initial hearing, Liridona Ademaj's husband, Naim Murseli, pleaded "completely innocent" of the charge of "aggravated murder". The other defendant, Kushtrim Kokalla, said he would not plead guilty without consulting his lawyer, while Granit Plava chose to remain silent. The defendant for selling the weapon to Murseli, Tom Dodaj, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years in prison and a 5 euro fine. (see here)
Liridona Ademaj was murdered on November 29, 2023, on a street in the village of Bërnicë, Pristina. The case was initially reported as a “robbery with consequences of murder,” but days later authorities arrested Naim Murseli, her husband, as a suspect. (Details of INDICTMENT)
