According to Bosnian media reports, Sulejmanovic started a live stream on social media by saying that viewers “will see what a live murder looks like” before taking a gun and firing a bullet into the woman’s head.
Sulejmanovic also reportedly filmed a baby, believed to be his daughter, lying on the ground in a pool of blood and confirmed that she was alive.
“Someone save the child,” he said.
Police who are in the area have not given any more information about the incident or revealed the identity of the infant.
The alleged killer later said: “I warned everyone that it would come to this. She has been hiding my child for eight days.
“I’m waiting to load my weapon and move on.”
Prosecutors said that after the horror killing, the man took to the streets of Gradacac with the gun and shot and killed a man and his son.
Sulejmanovic also wounded a police officer, named Husein Kotoric, another man, and a woman at various locations while on the run.
“I have no words to describe what happened today in Gradacac,” said Nermin Niksic, the Prime Minister of the Bosnian Federation.
“The murderer took his own life in the end, but no one can bring back the lives of the victims.”
As cops caught up with the man, Sulejmanovic live-streamed two more videos on social media, claiming to have shot at least two other people while on the run.
“He escaped in a Skoda, and I couldn’t catch up with him in my BMW,” he said of the police officer he had shot at.
The assailant wounded three additional people before he “committed suicide after being located and before being apprehended,” police said in a statement in the regional center of Tuzla.
According to local media, the bodybuilder was a member of a drug gang and had already several convictions for acts of violence, fights, and his involvement in drug trafficking.
Police said that viewers who wrote supportive messages while watching the man’s grisly live stream on Friday will be questioned and could possibly face legal repercussions.
