Frrok Lleshaj, 65, was shot dead on Monday evening in the village of Paçram in Vau i Dejës, just a few meters from his apartment.
The main lead on which the investigations are focused is that of a blood feud, while it is suspected that the victim was shot with a silenced gun.
It is suspected that the victim was shot around 8:00 PM on Monday, while the body was found around 9:00 PM, at which time the Police were notified.
The body was found by one of the residents of the area, who then notified the 65-year-old's family, who then called the police.
Lleshaj, 65 years old, committed a murder 30 years ago for which he was arrested, but he escaped from prison in 1997.
A former police officer in the early 1990s, Lleshaj was arrested in 2006, where he served 21 years in prison and was released in 2023.
Despite the sentence, the victim did not admit responsibility for the incident for which he was convicted.
The track being investigated
The main track being investigated is that of blood feud. The feud between the Lleshaj family and two other families has produced 5 victims since the early 1990s. Frrok Lleshaj is the third to be killed after his son and brother in the early 1990s, while his cousin Dodë Lleshaj, with whom the conflict arose, and another citizen from Puka were also killed. It all started in 1991 when the 65-year-old's son was killed in Greece, writes journalist Senad Nikshiqi for BW.
At the time, it was said that the young man was killed by the Greek police under unknown circumstances, but Frrok Lleshaj's family suspected that his cousins were involved in the incident. So a few years later, there are strong suspicions that the 65-year-old took his son's blood, thus killing his cousin Dodë Lleshaj. Despite the suspicions and accusations, Frrok Lleshaj never admitted authorship of this event.
Meanwhile, another conflict arose with a family from Puka. Frrok Lleshaj shot another person to death, an event he admitted to in court and for which he was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Of these two old and still unresolved feuds, Frrok Lleshaj's brother remains dead. Together with the 65-year-old who was shot with a pistol on the evening of August 4, the number of victims due to the blood feud rises to 5. The local police of Shkodra, which immediately arrived at the scene, began preliminary investigations through the working group established for this serious murder.
The main suspicions of the murder of the 65-year-old are related to these two feuds, but so far there are no specific people detained by the officers. The police have accompanied several people who may have knowledge of the murder, as well as family members, but so far there is nothing concrete regarding the authorship of the event where Frrok Lleshaj was killed. The investigative group, under the direction of the prosecution, is working to fully shed light on this serious event that is suspected to have occurred as a result of a blood feud, but without excluding any other possible leads.
