The explosion of TNT in the apartment in the "Partizani" neighborhood in Elbasan also caused material damage to other apartments in the building.
Residents say that the windows were broken, while also recounting the moment of the incident. A neighbor said that the noise was very loud and that she does not know the reason why it happened.
"We heard a very loud bang, we asked what happened. We were afraid to turn on the lights. I'm on the second floor. The windows are damaged. The man lives down here, with his wife and child. But they left in the evening. They have their own house. My mother lives nearby with her brother. We haven't heard of them being problematic. We don't know how this happened."
A man, pointing out the damage to the window, said the explosion sounded like a bomb.
"A powerful explosion shattered the windows. It was on the first floor, because they deliberately set it there. The forensic experts were there too. I was at home with my wife and son. We were scared because it was so powerful, like a bomb explosion."
Another neighbor says she thought a bomb had exploded.
"I said something exploded in our neighborhood. The house shook like crazy. There was an earthquake and the house didn't shake like that. I said maybe a bomb exploded. I was so scared I had nowhere to go. I told my husband what the hell happened."
Meanwhile, the police suspect that the incident was staged by the owner of the apartment, Arbër Pepa, together with his nephew. The suspicions are that he intended to obtain asylum in EU countries.
