LL0270 \\u2013 plural instrumental inagininkas part three
Hi there, I\\u2019m Jack and I\\u2019m Gintar\\u0117 and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.
A bizarre story out of Lithuania concerns a man named Dr\\u0105sius Kedys of Kaunas, Lithuania. \\xa0
\\xa0
Mr. Kedys allegedly murdered Lithuanian District Court Judge Jonas Furmanavi\\u010dius and a few hours later, the sister of his ex-girlfriend, Violeta Naru\\u0161evi\\u010dien\\u0117.
\\xa0
Police said that possible motives for the murders were either a bitter three-year-long custody fight or the claims by Dr\\u0105sius Kedys that Judge Jonas Furmanavi\\u010dius and other men raped his young daughter.
\\xa0
Dr\\u0105sius Kedys had become a Lithuanian folk hero for taking the law into his own hands and murdering two people.\\xa0 Street demonstrations were held and mugs and t-shirts supporting Dr\\u0105sius were sold all over Lithuania.
\\xa0
His body was found in a Kaunas reservoir in April 2010.
