The trial over the murder of Kosovo Police Sergeant Muhamet Lika is continuing at the Basic Court in Ferizaj. In his opening statement, prosecutor Ismet Rrahmani said that physical evidence and security camera footage show that the crime had been planned in advance, while the defendants had assisted the suspected perpetrator before, during and after the murder.

Rrahmani stated that April 1, 2025, had begun as a normal working day for Sergeant Lika. After finishing his shift in Kaçanik, at around 22:54, he set off for his apartment but never arrived there because, according to the prosecutor, he was shot dead by the minor Rejhan Bela.

According to the prosecutor, a review of the security camera footage identified the people involved in the case. The prosecution claims that Rejhan Bela directly carried out the murder, while the other five defendants acted as co-perpetrators, assisting him before, during and after the crime.

The prosecutor said that the video footage, location data and witness statements will prove that the incident did not happen spontaneously. According to him, Sergeant Lika’s murder was the culmination of deliberate preparations.

Presenting the roles attributed to the defendants in the indictment, Rrahmani said that Rilind Murati was seen with Rejhan Bela at the time the murder was committed. Meanwhile, Vatan Çaka was recorded by cameras together with Murati and Bela as they monitored the scene before the crime was committed.

Regarding Edmond Lika, the prosecutor said that he was seen with Shkëlqim Kuka tracking Sergeant Muhamet Lika’s movements after the latter left the police station. According to the prosecution, as soon as the victim passed near them, Edmond Lika got out of the Opel, which belonged to Shkëlqim Kuka, and then drove his own Golf 2 toward the location where the murder took place.
