Description
Nicio from the village of Gopeš in kaza Ohrid, son of Dimko, declared in front of the court in Bitola: „Walking from our village together with my friends Dimo and Velko, we went down to a garden near the village of Kutretino, which is in the by God protected kaza of Monastir. At midnight, while we were asleep, we were attacked by armed inhabitants of the village of Kutretino. They killed my friends, Dimo and Velko, and they dangerously wounded me three or four times, thinking that they killed me, too. They left us by the willows near Crna Reka. They robbed us, taking three mules, 6,000 akçe (silver coins), three loads of wheat and other stuff”. The court in Bitola sent investigators to the village of Kutretino, where they found the robbed blankets in the house of Goshe. After hearing the accused and the witnesses, the court in Bitola made the following verdict: “It is true that the mentioned Goshe is an old bandit and road raider. His full time job is to kill passengers, who pass by his village, and to rob them. He is causing riots in the Empire. It is necessary for him to disappear from the face of the Earth”.
