A man in Bosnia has killed his ex-wife, posting the murder live on Instagram, as well as two other people while on the run before taking his own life, according to police and media reports.

Officers in the north-eastern Bosnian town of Tuzla said that apart from the three killed, three other people were wounded before the killer took his own life “after being located and before being apprehended”.

The man, identified by Bosnian media as Nermin Sulejmanovic from the north-eastern Bosnian town of Gradacac, posted a disturbing video on Instagram on Friday morning, telling viewers that they would see a murder live.

During the police search, the suspect published another video on Instagram, claiming to have shot at least two other people while on the run.
