Dad slashes 14-year-old son, murders his mother over "marital infidelity" (Brooklyn, New York)

Actually, as far as I can tell, there is no evidence that Mom was cheating (not that this is a legitimate reason to kill somebody.) In reality, it seems dad HASAN "SAMMY' RUGOVA was a mean, abusive, stupid, and lazy drunk.

Man killed wife, slashed son because of ‘marital infidelity’: cops

May 20, 2014 | 1:03pm . A early-morning fight over “marital infidelity” led a Brooklyn man to fatally stab his wife in the neck — and also slash their teenage son — just hours after the wife opened a new pizzeria named after her husband, police sources and a relative said Tuesday.

The crazed hubby then stabbed himself in the gut in what law-enforcement sources described as an attempted murder-suicide about 2:20 a.m.

A source said the deadly violence in Bay Ridge was sparked by “marital infidelity,” but it was unclear who was cheating on whom.

Neighbors identified the slain woman as Gyltene “Julie” Rugova, 46, and her husband as Hasan “Sammy” Rugova, 52, who works as the super at their apartment building at 101 Marine Ave.

The Albanian-born couple has four children, including 14-year-old Ibrahim, who got cut on his forearm during the bloodshed and called 911.

Julie was already dead when EMTs arrived at the scene. Sammy and Ibrahim were both taken to Lutheran Hospital, where they’re in stable condition.

No charges have yet been filed.

Cousin Florent Ismajli, 27, said he spoke with Ibrahim in the hospital, where the teen described seeing his father grab a knife and attack his mother during an argument inside their living room.

“He struggled with his father to get him to stop and that’s when the father started stabbing himself,” Ismajli said.

“Ibrahim got cut trying to stop the father from stabbing himself.”

Once the father collapsed, Ibrahim “got some towels and tried to put them on his mother and father to stop the bleeding,” and phoned older brother Idriz, known as “Drizzy,” 19, who was parking his car outside, Ismajli said.

Ibrahim then called 911 and woke sister Melissa, 12. “She was the closest of the kids to her mother…Melissa wouldn’t got anywhere without her mother — that’s how tight they were,” Ismajli said.

“She was just here in the hospital going crazy. She was crying, screaming, yelling.”

The fourth sibling, college student Miranda, 17, was staying at an uncle’s house.

Ismajli, whose mom is Julie’s sister, described his uncle as an abusive drunk.

“He was always drinking and acting up, making stupid comments. I’ve seen it at every family function I’ve been to,” he said.

Whenever Julie tried to get her husband to behave, “he would just call her ‘bitch’ and keep drinking,” Ismajli added.

On Monday, Julie and Drizzy opened a new business they called “Sammy’s Pizzeria” at the former Benny’s Pizza Place at 91st Street and Fourth Avenue, which the family bought three weeks ago, he said.

“She worked like a dog all day there,” Ismajli said.

“The pizzeria was for the older son and the mom. Sammy, he was just going to be the name, he wasn’t going to work there.”

Sally Amro, 12, said she and the couple’s youngest child, Melissa, also 12, handed out fliers promoting the place over the weekend.

“We were excited to eat there,” Sally said. “We were all going to get food there and have so much fun, but now she’s going to be scarred for life.”

Tenants in the family’s building said Sammy, who also worked as a doorman on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, was often heard screaming at his wife.

Ismajli, whose mom is Julie’s sister, said Sammy “was always drinking and acting up, making stupid comments.”

Whenever Julie tried to get her husband to behave, “he would just call her ‘bitch’ and keep drinking,” Ismajli added.

“It was like fireworks in there. There was always something happening,” one woman said.

Julie’s pal Mimoza Ggikolli, who lives across the street, broke down in tears when she learned of the slaying.

Ggikolli said Julie, who worked as a housekeeper, was “such a hard worker,” but said of Sammy: “Nobody respects him because he’s always drunk.”

“God is going to punish him with life in jail because he left four kids on the street,” she said.
