My sister-in-law was also there (my brother’swife), as well as my wife and three children. My wife’s name is ShefkateBogujevci, my sister-in-law is Sala Bogujevci, Saranda Bogujevci is mybrother’s daughter, Shpend Bogujevci is my brother’s son and so is ShpetinBogujevci. In that moment aunt Nefise Llugalin 18 and her daughter-inlawFezrije Fuganjini 19 were at our house, too. My house was in Podujevoon 265 Ivana Kosančića Street.That day, 28 March around 06:00 my wife and children persuaded me toleave the house. The reason why I left the house was that the action of enteringhouses began already in the morning. Along with my cousin ValdetBogujevci I went out; I left the house. Enver Duriqi was also with us.He was my uncle’s guest and was hidden in my uncle’s house. We wentaway from the house approximately some 300 metres distance and therewe found a shelter. We were there from 06:00 in the morning until 20:00.There were few people at that place at 6 o’clock in the morning, but lateron more people started coming over from other surrounding villages andat the end there was a lot of people there. I stayed there with these peoplefrom 06:00 until 20:00 and in that time I managed to get in touch with mybrother who told me to leave this place and go to the Balovac village nearPodujevo. I wanted to look for my family and that was the reason for me toleave that place. I had no idea where my family went and hid.18 Nefise Bogujevci Llugaliu19 Fexhrie Blakqori Llugaliu127
