3rd Feb:

A Kosovan refugee accused of murdering his wife lied about witnessing Serbian atrocities to claim asylum and benefits in the UK, a court heard today (MON). Muhamet Hoti, 43, stabbed 42 year-old mother-of-three Ganimete Hoti to death at their home in north London after repeatedly accusing her of having affairs with other men. He now claims his responsibility for the killing is diminished because of post traumatic stress disorder as a result of the war. But prosecutor Zoe Johnson said Hoti had lied about his past and left Kosovo before fighting reached his village. - See more at: http://www.courtnewsuk.co.uk/newsgallery/#sthash.DVnuNxFO.dpuf
