The police have begun
investigating the case as a
premeditated murder without
aggravating circumstance. The
Criminal Code of Georgia lists
intolerance towards one’s
sexual orientation or gender
identity as aggravating factors
for any committed crime, and
such hate crimes are to be
punished harder. The
organization Identoba, which
works with LGBT rights, called
on the police to make clear
whether this was a hate crime
or not as they suspect it has
been. The group stressed in a
statement that the police are
not qualified to solve
homophobic crimes and
investigate them as crimes
without aggravating
circumstances.

The media was not
interested in the horrific
nature of the crime itself,
but instead indulged in
the victim’s orientation
and gender identity,
which further
strengthened transphobia
in society.
