Grandson is sentenced to 18 years in prison for murdering his grandfather for greed / Article

The grandson of the murdered man and one of his two heirs, believing that the grandfather was going to sell his real estate, as well as cutting down the forests in his possession, thus significantly reducing the amount of the grandson’s inheritance as an heir, decided to murder the grandfather, guided by greedy motives.

The accused took out a hunting weapon – a shotgun – registered in his name from the gun safe in his possession and handed it over to another person, who, knowing about the accused’s intention to kill his grandfather, decided to support it and agreed to store the weapon in his possession. Several days later, at the defendant’s direction, the accomplice of the murder placed the firearm in the car he was using, in which the defendant later drove to the house where the grandfather lived.

When he came to the kitchen window of the grandfather’s house and saw that the grandfather was in the kitchen, the accused shot the victim in the head with a loaded shotgun through the glass of the kitchen window in order to kill him. As a result of the gunshot, the victim suffered serious injuries, which led to his death.

After committing the murder, the defendant entered the victim’s residence and secretly stole his wallet.

During the commission of the murder, the second accused continued to support the criminal activities of the perpetrator of the murder by performing work duties in the security company instead of him. While in the car assigned to perform work duties, he met the victim’s grandson at a pre-arranged place, where he received no less than 140 euros from him. In addition, later, in order to hide the traces of the criminal offense committed by the other defendant and the objects obtained by crime – the stolen grandfather’s wallet with its contents -, the supporter of the murder burned it in the oven while in his residence.

The court issued a summary judgment in this case on March 20. At the same time, the court made a side decision, with which it was established that two witnesses had given false testimony. The decision has been sent to the investigative body for pre-trial procedural actions.

The prosecutor is satisfied with the sentence imposed by the court and does not plan to ask the court to prepare a full sentence.

On the other hand, the other persons involved in the process can submit a written request to the court for the preparation of a full judgment within 10 days from the day of the announcement of the abbreviated judgment. If such a request is made, the court prepares a full judgment, which can be appealed or protested within 10 days of its availability.
