Man livestreams killing of ex-wife on Instagram, saying "You'll see what a murder looks like."

Nizama Hecimovic was a woman from Gradacac, Bosnia whose life was tragically cut short by her ex-husband. Reports indicate that just weeks before her death, Nizama posted a sweet photo of her daughter's foot with a caption that read, 'A baby will make love stronger, the days shorter, nights longer, money less, home happier, clothes more shabby, the past forgotten and a future worth living for.'

Nizama's ex-husband, Nermin Sulejmanovic, had a criminal record and had reported her to the police for domestic abuse. On Friday, he took to Instagram and livestreamed the gruesome execution of Nizama. During the livestream, he stated 'Look, when you are dealing with a wh*** who reports you to the police', before firing a bullet into the woman's forehead.

The livestream was watched by some 12,000 people and liked 126 times. People wrote supportive messages under his posts on the same day. It is understood that despite Nizama reporting family violence to the Gradacac authorities and seeking a restraining order, she was not given one.

The tragedy of Nizama's death sparked outrage and protests across Bosnia. Thousands of people took to the streets in large cities in the country to call on authorities to take a tougher approach against femicide. Protesters carried banners reading 'Silence is approval', 'We will not live in fear' or 'Stop femicide'. Sarajevo Mayor Benjamina Karic spoke at the march on Monday and declared 'This is a huge shame for our society'.

The United Nations' resident coordinator in Bosnia, Ingrid Macdonald, said that the violence could have been prevented. She said: 'The UN stands horrified by the fact that the murder of a female victim was livestreamed via a social network, which is one of the latest in a streak of femicide and severe cases of gender-based violence in Bosnia and Herzegovina.'

Nizama was buried on Monday, and several thousand mourners turned up to pay their respects and support her family and friends. Her death has highlighted the ongoing issue of violence against women in the Balkan country.
