He filmed at least three videos documenting the violent spree in the northeastern town of Gradacac. Sulejmanovic began by posting a video on Instagram on Friday morning telling her followers that they would be witnessing a live execution. Next, he focused the camera on the face of his ex-wife which was left bloodied and disfigured from the inflicted injuries, according to a local outlet.
“Look, when you’re dealing with a wh–e who reports you to the police,” he told his viewers in the clip. A child could be heard crying in the background. Realizing that his followers could hear the child, Sulejmanovic revealed that he is the child’s father. He also said that his ex-wife had “hidden” the toddler from him for more than a week, after she had reported him to the police for domestic violence.
“Here, watch the murder live now, nice and easy … Are you watching?” Sulejmanovic said during the live stream before casually firing a bullet into a woman’s forehead. He then turned the camera to focus on the child lying on the floor.
“Here, someone come and save the child. Moving on,” he said, going on to film at least two more live videos on Instagram even as he was being pursued by law enforcement. He then confessed to his viewers that he killed two others off-camera. The victims were later identified as a man and his young son.
Sulejmanovic also wounded a police officer, another man and a woman. He then hilled himself “after being located and before being apprehended,” police in the city of Tuzla said in a statement.
Sulejmanovic’s ex-wife has not been identified. A motive has not been revealed by the police for the shocking crimes committed by Sulejmanovic.
