A terrible event is proven to have happened in Gjakova. A 4-year-old girl has died. The police have opened an investigation into her death, as it is suspected that she was brutally beaten.

Days ago, Arjana Hajra from Gjakova, together with her daughter had decided to pay a visit to her brother and had left her daughter outside to play with children.

Afterwards, he found him lying on the ground. According to Hajra, the girl had told her that she had been beaten by the children of family members who had gone to visit them.

"I took the hook, it started with a kite. I told him what you have, he told me, I'm sorry, Jakupi has a board like this, and Sabija's son is beating me all over. She doesn't cry very well either. You come, I don't walk with you, 'oh mom, my heart is aching', I took her in the back and now, as in her words, I only took her, Hajra told the media. 

While he says that the deceased did not have the strength to stand, she had bruises on her lower back and swelling on her chest.

After sending her to the Gjakova Hospital, the girl's condition worsened and the four-year-old was sent for treatment to the KKUK in Pristina, where unfortunately the girl lost her life. 

"In the middle of the night, the doctor called me to come into the room, where she was. Come in, come with me, and the doctor will come, she's treating me, oh my god, she's not sick from being beaten, she has a big infection. "He was bleeding because of the big infection," she added.

The cause of death from an infection is also mentioned by the Director of the Emergency Clinic at the University Clinical Center of Kosovo, Naser Syla, but he did not answer when asked if the 4-year-old had signs of violence on her body.

From the Regional Directorate of Police in Gjakovë, they have not said more about the case than what is stated in the 24-hour report of the Kosovo Police and they have not given an answer to the interview of the suspects for beating the minor. The Prosecutor's Office acted in the same way.

"We inform you that a case of death investigation has been initiated and by the prosecutor's decision the dead body of the victim has been sent to the IML for autopsy. In coordination with the police, all actions related to this case are being undertaken", said the Basic Prosecutor's Office in Gjakovë.

The mother of the deceased said that her brother denied that his son beat the deceased and he, as the family said, was interviewed by the Kosovo Police. The report of the Institute of Forensic Medicine, where her body was sent for autopsy, is expected to shed light on the case, which has been described as a "death investigation".
