National Bureau of Enforcement on the murder of a married couple: We have mediated between the parties for four years, aiming to reach a settlement, the final meeting took place yesterday, but no agreement was reached; consequently, a stage of compulsory enforcement was scheduled for November 12

The National Bureau of Enforcement has issued a statement regarding the motive behind the murder of a married couple in Tbilisi.

According to the agency, the National Bureau of Enforcement had been mediating between the victims and the individual accused of the murder for four years, in an effort to facilitate a settlement between the parties.

They further explained that no agreement was reached during the final meeting held on November 11; therefore, a stage of the compulsory enforcement process had been scheduled for November 12.

"Over the course of four years, the National Bureau of Enforcement mediated between the parties to facilitate a settlement. Through negotiations, the eviction process was postponed several times. A final meeting with the parties took place yesterday, November 11; however, no agreement was reached. Consequently, a stage of the compulsory enforcement process was scheduled for November 12 to vacate the real estate in favor of the legal owner," the statement notes.

For context, a married couple was killed yesterday in Tbilisi, within the very residential building where they lived. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the crime was preceded by circumstances related to property matters—specifically, the accused's failure to fulfill financial obligations.
