(PHOTO) Wife Murderer Escapes: In Vuhrud, they speculate whether the reason was the breakdown of the marriage

A 39-year-old man fled after allegedly killing his 36-year-old wife in the small town of Vuhred in northeastern Slovenia early Monday morning. The incident occurred in a multi-family building in the third-floor apartment, according to local police reports. The victim, identified as Zijada U., was found severely injured with a knife wound, and she died at the scene. The suspect, Amir U., reportedly left the premises on foot shortly after the attack. The police were alerted just before one o'clock in the morning and arrived promptly. An investigative team from the criminal police sector conducted an initial examination of the crime scene. A large-scale search operation has since been launched, involving multiple units of the police force, including mounted officers, canine teams, and drone operators. Helicopters have been circling the area, and patrols have been set up at key intersections throughout the town. The search has expanded beyond Vuhred into surrounding areas, with police checking the banks of the Drava River near Selica, a nearby village. Neighbors described the situation as unusual but did not notice anything out of place during the night. One resident who lives in the same block told reporters she learned of the tragedy only when police arrived at her door. She said she heard nothing and saw nothing suspicious. Another neighbor, who lives in a house opposite the block, initially thought the police had come because of a parked car issue but later learned of the more serious nature of the incident. He expressed shock upon seeing the police searching for Amir U., whom he described as a calm and helpful person who had assisted him with home repairs. Amir U. and his wife are believed to have moved to Slovenia from Bosnia and Herzegovina around ten years ago. They settled in the same block and lived there without any known issues. Their son, approximately 15 or 16 years old, has been taken into custody by social services, though it is unclear whether he witnessed the incident. Local residents emphasized that the couple had always been friendly and quiet, making the sudden violence all the more shocking. Local speculation suggests the murder might have stemmed from marital disputes. Some neighbors claimed they overheard conversations indicating that Amir U. might have acted out of jealousy, but others suggested the opposite, that the woman had threatened to take their son back to Bosnia and Herzegovina if Amir continued his alleged infidelity. These accounts remain unconfirmed, as the police have not officially commented on the motive behind the attack. Both Amir and his wife were previously employed at the company Marles, but recent reports suggest they may have switched jobs to work at another firm called Tomles. The police continue their extensive search for Amir U., describing him as potentially dangerous. Authorities have issued alerts through media channels and are using technology such as drones to assist in locating him. Despite the efforts, the search remains ongoing, with no immediate leads emerging. The community remains in shock, grappling with the sudden loss of a family member and the uncertainty of the suspect’s whereabouts. The police have not yet released further details about the investigation, but they confirmed that the couple had no prior criminal records. As the search continues, the focus shifts to understanding the circumstances leading to the tragic event and ensuring the safety of the public. The police have urged anyone with information to contact them immediately.
