According to the judges, Alija Hrustic did not want to kill her son. Life imprisonment canceled and torture charge dropped: sentence reduced to 28 years
Alija Hrusticthe man who beat and killed his youngest son, Mehmed (two years old), was sentenced to life in prison on charges of voluntary murder and torture in the first instance sentence.
A little while ago came the new decision of the judges. According to the latter there was not no will by the defendant to kill and torture his son. The penalty against Alija Hrustic was reduced to 28 years of imprisonment.
Under the influence of alcohol and drugs, the father had vented his anger on the child, who died from the reported severe trauma. 51 injuries according to the autopsy exam.
The second degree sentence reduces Alija Hrustic’s sentence
In the second instance sentence, it is believed that: the appropriate legal status is neither that of voluntary murder nor that of intentional murder, both of which are forced. The crime of voluntary homicide was retrained in mistreatment. A death therefore resulting from the mistreatment of the man, who had no intention of killing the two-year-old child.
The kick, the push – or any violent gesture that made today’s little victim fall – is the latest outrage inflicted on him not different from the numerous blows that (had) left the wounds found on his corpse. These the words written by the judges. The latter have specified that “The skull fracture and other injuries would therefore be attributable to a unitary conduct of mistreatment”.
Fall also theaccusation of torture of the first instance sentence. And the allegations of ill-treatment of his wife, whose position in the affair would appear ambiguous.
The murder of little Mehmed dates back to 2019, when the child was found lifeless inside his home.
The man, after the murder, had taken his eldest daughters and took refuge in an apartment building in Milan. Arrested a few days later, he had explained to the police that he had acted under the influence of alcohol and drugs. And that he was convinced that his younger son had the evil eye.
A reduction of the sentence and a sentence now the subject of many controversy.
