The Court of Appeal has upheld the First Instance decision for Mario Përlleshaj, accused of the murder of 14-year-old Martin Cani.
With this decision, the Appeal confirmed the 16-year prison sentence given by the Court of First Instance for the serious incident that occurred in Tirana.
After the hearing ended, Martin Can's father told the media that the family was not satisfied with the sentence, emphasizing that he had expected a harsher decision against the perpetrator.
"What happened to us should not happen to anyone. Our pain is very great. Laws are laws, but we claimed a greater punishment. The punishment is for 2 criminal offenses. A young man can kill 50 people today with a bomb, and is sentenced to 12 years in prison. As you know, there are 2 qualifying circumstances. Thank God there were no other children there. As for the perpetrator, Luis was dead, while he killed Martin with a knife in the heart. Our pain is very great," he said.
