The murder of Diana Kastrati
Although in early 2011, Diana Kastrati had requested a protection order against the person she was living with, Adnon Jashari, such a thing was not undertaken by the justice authorities and in May 2011, Diana Kastrati was killed on a street near her home in Pristina.
The suspect in her murder is believed to be in Spain and his extradition is not being possible because Spain does not recognize Kosovo's independence.
The murder of Zejnepe Berisha
Another case that shocked the country was the murder of Zejnepe Berisha by her husband, who stabbed her over 20 times in the presence of their children.
Initially, Nebih Berisha was sentenced to only 12 years in prison, but after numerous protests and reactions, the Court of Appeals added another 5 years to his sentence.

Initially, Nrecaj was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Court of Appeals, but then the Supreme Court of Kosovo sent the case back for a retrial, where Nrecaj's sentence was reduced to 24 years in prison.
The murder of Sabile Mavrovqani
Another crime within the family was committed in July 2020 in the village of Berivojcë, Kamenica. Sabile Mavrovqani was beaten to death with a metal rod by her husband Nuhi Mavrovqani.

The murder of Marigona Osmani
The murder of 18-year-old Marigona Osmani from Ferizaj was among the most serious murders that shocked Kosovo. The 18-year-old was raped and physically beaten to death by her boyfriend Dardan Krivaqa.
It is the only case where a woman's murderer has been given a life sentence at all levels. About a month ago, the Supreme Court confirmed that Dardan Krivaqa will remain in prison for life.
Marigona Osmani was murdered on August 22, 2021. The other suspect, Arbër Sejdiu, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for the criminal offense of aiding and abetting the commission of the criminal offense of aggravated murder.
