• What kind of punishment do minors face for violent crimes?
Lesufi says that he is impressed with the turnaround in the investigation.
"Praises and praises to police. I never thought that I would see the day that I would have to hand over a body to a parent. When they hear the news that they've arrested somebody, it brings that little relief."
