The son of a famous war photographer who was found stabbed to death in a California forest has been photographed for the first time after being charged with murder. Emir Abadzic Lowe, 19, appeared in West Covina court in chains to be charged with murdering his father Paul Lowe, 60. Lowe, who covered the siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian war, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the release of Nelson Mandela from prison, died of neck injuries.
He had been hiking around the San Gabriel Mountains when he was found and later pronounced dead at the scene. Emir is being held in the Los Angeles County Jail on a $2 million bond after he crashed his car while trying to leave the scene. An 'upper body trauma' and a stab wound to the neck were found on his body, which the LA County Medical Examiner concluded was the cause of his death.
Lowe is charged with murder and faces up to 25 years in prison. His motive remains unknown. Lowe was a professor at the University of the Arts London, as well as a visiting professor in war studies at King's College London (KCL). He split his time between London and the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo, but was in Southern California to attend to 'family matters'.
Amra Abadzic Lowe, his widow, told the New York Times that their son had had mental health problems and had been hospitalized for psychosis. Lowe had traveled to the US to persuade his son to return to the UK after Emir had left for a short trip, but stayed for several months. On his social media pages, Lowe had often shared images of himself and his son hiking in hiking areas in Bosnia, while his wife shared drawings Emir had made as a child.
Lowe had made plans to meet his colleague Lara Jo Regan while in California, who became nervous after several days without hearing from him. She told KTÇK: 'I got on Facebook and was going to DM to see what it was. Then the first thing that came out was the news of his death posted on the website of his agency in New York. I was beyond shocked. I'm still kind of shocked.'
CNN producer and anchor Ika Ferrer Gotić posted on X that they met in 2019 and spent time unpacking war crimes in Sarajevo and Bijeljina. “We lost more than one photographer when Paul Lowe passed away. We lost a witness to our history, a storyteller who told the world the truths that many wanted to ignore. His lens captured more than the horrors of war; captured the resilience, the survival, the humanity of Sarajevo at its darkest moment.'
During his lifetime, Lowe documented several global events, including the end of the Cold War. However, his most powerful image is said to have been taken during the siege of Sarajevo in 1992. The photo that was his most famous was a black and white photo of a child with a ball while in Sarajevo, taken during a walk winter afternoon. "
Meanwhile, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said in a statement: “Our thoughts are with Christian Lowe's loved ones during this tragic time. We will pursue justice for the victim and ensure that the offender pays for his actions.
