January 4, 2016
The
early hours of the New Year 2016 started with a number of killings and
fatal accidents in Albania, including robberies of unprotected people
inside of their homes.
These
events have turned into an object of political debate. Opposition
accuses the government of being unable to maintain order and protect the
life of the citizens. Ministry of Interior says that the opposition is
slandering.
Killings and violent robberies
The
first day of 2016 started with a domestic crime. In Saranda, the
husband killed his wife in front of their 22 year old daughter and then
killed himself. This scene shocked the daughter who ended up in hospital
in a true state of depression.
The 20 year old brother ended up in the same situation when he learned about the scary event.
The
murdered woman had taken out a restraint order from the court against
her husband as a result of the violence that he exerted on her. But this
didn’t prevent the husband to take her life in front of the children.
A
few hours later in Shkoder, a man executes two brothers, one of who had
just returned from abroad. Police tried to arrest him, but to no avail.
While special forces are looking for the armed man, in Tirana, a member
of these forces saw his house take fire in what is believed to be
intentional arson.
At
the same time, in Lezha, a former road police officer was gunned down.
Police said that they have not arrested the perpetrators of this crime.
Two
days into the New Year, in the center of the city of Elbasan, an
elderly couple who had been working in their bakery for many years, were
slaughtered in their home by two robbers who stole one thousand euros
from them.
In
Kavaja, a 31 year old man lost his life, after being gunned down in
circumstances which are not yet clear. Meanwhile, in Korca, a young
woman was kidnapped and was held under captivity several days. The
captor aimed at having his son released from prison in exchange of her
freedom. According to him, this could be done if the girl withdraw her
charges for his son.
In
the meantime, in the early hours of the New Year, seven people lost
their life and several others remained wounded in several road
accidents.
