Bosnian man behind attacks on ex-wife

From : News from Norway

A twenty eight year old woman has been physically assaulted by unknown and masked assailants on three separate occasions.

The court case against a 29 year old man started to day in Oslo Courthouse. The man who’s accused of masterminding the attacks pleaded not guilty to the charges made against him.

- We had a very poor relationship at the time, this was mostly due to discrepancies over our daughter, but I would never have gone so far as to hurt the mother of my own child, said the twenty nine year old when questioned about the first assault.

Father spotted at the scene of the crime.

This attack occurred on a crowded Oslo street in April 2004. According to the charges, the twenty nine year olds ex-wife was attacked by a masked assailant who hit her over the head and on her body. The woman lost consciousness and suffered a concussion in the incident.

The father of the accused was spotted in the area at the time of the attack, but he’s not been charged so far. Last June the woman was attacked for the second time, also this time on a crowded city street. The woman had just dropped off her five year old daughter at kindergarten, when an unknown man, most likely of Pakistani descent attacked her.

- I was very surprised when I heard about it. Perhaps some of my relatives arranged the attack, I don’t know. They were not happy about our divorce. Or perhaps it was someone who’s out to hurt my family, said the twenty nine year old Bosnian.

Asked for sugar.

At the end of June this year, the ex-wife of the accused was attacked for a third time. This time the incident occurred in her own flat in Oslo. According to the prosecutor, an unknown woman knocked on her door and asked if she could borrow some sugar. The woman told the ex-wife that she’d just moved into the building. When the twenty eight year old returned with the sugar, she was attacked by two masked men, who hit her repeatedly with baseball bats. The woman suffered several broken ribs and was badly bruised in this incident.

- I was visiting my family in Sweden at the time, and I was very surprised when I learned of the attack. In fact I was shocked, because by then we had a reasonably good relationship, said the twenty nine year old from the stand.-

Prior conviction for violence.

The suspect has a prior conviction for violence and intimidation against his ex-wife, who’s also from Bosnia. The accused has also breached a restraining order on an earlier occasion. The couple was formally separated in 2000, and divorced in 2004. They got married in 1999.

The ex-wife of the accused will appear in front of the court at a later stage. A recorded interrogation of the couple’s daughter will also be played before the court.

Hmm... The accused has probably had a very difficult childhood, and chances are that he’s been severely traumatized in the civil war in Bosnia. If we’ll only give him yet another chance and increase his benefits, I’m sure he’ll stick to the straight and narrow in the future.

And by the way..

Thank you politicians for creating such a wonderful society. The Norway of the past was truly an unbearable, violent hellhole. Wouldn’t want to go back there again.
