Testimony of Woman Held Hostage by Partner
Albanian Daily News learned about the testimony of the girl who was held hostage for a week and brutally assaulted by her boyfriend Gleard Gusholli.
She has shown that 31-year-old Gleart Gusholli assaulted her with chair legs, kicked and punched her and threatened her with a knife that he would kill and torture her.
The girl confesses that she was drugged by the 31-year-old man, who tried to suffocate her several times by putting his fingers in her throat.
She adds that she left Germany to live with the 31-year-old, but was met with unprecedented violence.
"He threatened to throw me in the river, not let me out of the house.
I tried several times to jump from the balcony because I couldn't do it anymore. He used to hit me with his fists and a stick. He took out the knife, held it at my leg, told me he would rip open my stomach. I begged him to open the door for me. He wanted to take revenge that we were separated for 3 months.
In Germany it started with violence. My parents found out and kicked him out of the house. We had known each other for a year and a half. He assaulted me in Germany, neither I nor my family denounced him. Out of jealousy, he wanted to take revenge, he took my phone, I couldn't contact anyone.
In Germany, we lived together for 1 month and a half and my parents took him out of the house. Other people did not influence this violence, but I know that he was talking on the phone, writing messages, threatening me.
He was accusing my parents and me that we reported him, we didn't even file a report or anything.
He put 4 fingers in my throat and wanted to take my soul. I knew I was dying. He assaulted me. I was born and raised in Germany, I am a nurse.
He was in my city and asked for help because he wasn't feeling well. As an Albanian, I wanted to help him. He forced me to use drugs. I have consumed these last 5 days, the other times I have never had anything to do with drugs.
Albania has nothing to do with me, I came to create a family with Gleard. I have not spoken to my family members. The day my sister-in-law came to help me, he put his fingers in my throat about 15 times and wanted to strangle me. When he opened the door it was Gleard's brother-in-law, uncle's cousin and uncle's aunt. They took him out of the house. My uncle put clothes on me because I was naked, put me in the shower and wanted to kill me. I am dead", the girl declared in her testimony.
