Second perpetrator
However, according to S., a comrade played a crucial role during the murder. That suspect managed to flee to North Macedonia, so he is still at large. In principle, North Macedonia does not extradite its nationals. During a reconstruction in his home in Euphrosina Beernaertstraat, S. showed in June 2024 how he and his companion hid the body in a seat and then placed it in a van. In the meantime, that companion was interrogated again via video conference, but that would not have yielded any new elements.
No ankle bracelet
The council chamber decided on September 19, 2025 to place Elvir S. under electronic surveillance because the investigation was taking too long. After an appeal from the public prosecutor’s office, the man in his thirties ultimately remained in jail. In the meantime, the psychiatric report was in the file. As a result, the research is virtually complete.
On Tuesday morning, the defense asked in vain to allow the suspect to leave prison with an ankle bracelet.
