Why Pëllumb Meta was killed, details of the tragic event – ​​Telegraphi

The true motive of the murder of Pëllumb Meta in the Shënavlash of Durrës is still a mystery, while his wife, who is under investigation, and the three arrested children firmly adhere to the motive of domestic violence and the decision to kill the 19-year-old girl reluctantly to get engaged.

But the decision to involuntarily betroth her was rejected by the family, who had shown interest in this young man. In her opinion, even Blerina, the girl’s mother, and the murdered father had taken the same position regarding the possibility of an engagement.

As in the statement to the police, the family, which had thought of a relationship with the victim’s family, also in an off-camera communication with the Top Channel journalist rejected the claim that Pëllumbi had involuntarily engaged the girl.

“He had the light of his eyes. He did everything for her. He loved his children, his family. Every day he drove his daughter to Durrës to take the bus to Tirana because she was learning foreign languages. “I knew her.” In Tirana they didn’t think about the engagement, he told me: “These are women’s jobs.” I went there and she received me very well, she hired me, but she told me the same thing and the matter was over.” says Xheni, who intervened with the goodwill to get to know Hygerta and put her in touch with her husband’s brother.

“If he had reluctantly decided to get her engaged, he would have done it and told her you were getting engaged and not going to school, but no. We didn’t even know until the police came and asked. That’s it.” The daughter-in-law thought about the other son I have in Italy and he didn’t convince me of violence. He went to bars with his wife for lunch and dinner. Some time ago he was happy that his daughter gave him a car from Kruja to the house and he thought about buying her a car to go to school. He even ordered it from the car owner he worked for. “That’s what he told me,” adds her father-in-law.

Even the husband OQ rejects the motive given by the daughter of the Meta family and further supported by the statements of her mother and brothers, that the reason for the murder was the decision to betroth her against her will, violence and the father’s decision dictates that fate of his children. The discussion about this engagement ended in the fall when Hygerta’s parents did not accept the engagement.

“I was surprised when the police who came to take the CCTV footage asked me if we were looking for the girl for her brother-in-law. I remembered that he asked me about the woman’s brother, not mine, my brother hasn’t come for a year and when he comes he works all the time. We have clarified them and everything is clear. We see our work, our report and we don’t know the girl. “She was always driving,” said Xheni’s husband.

The last time they saw him was in Shënavlash on Saturday, February 10, the day of the murder. In the bar where he always stopped for a glass of brandy and coffee.

“It was in the bar. Had a coffee and brandy and left around 1:05 p.m. He said he wouldn’t be working that Saturday. He wanted to take a break and drove home. He said he felt a bit tired and that he could come back in the afternoon, but he didn’t.

As with the police and in direct contact with them, the main motive given as the cause of the crime is rejected.

In Shënavlash Blerina, the victim’s wife is known to be an educated woman who until recently taught foreign language courses, English, to children at home.

“If she were an abused woman, as she says, she would hardly allow her husband to bring anyone into the house. I don’t know what could have happened, but it’s very serious. When it comes to yelling at children, we all do it.” . These Crutans may be considered a little more than fanatics and authoritarians, but he always said that he lived and worked for them. The little one seemed to be a laborer on duty while he once went to England with 13,000 euros, but it didn’t work and he returned to kill dad “I know what to say,” another villager says about the victim .

The heavy shadow of crime hangs over Shënavlash, the village considered due to its proximity to the city of Durrës.

People are hesitant to speak publicly. They are afraid of the microphone and feel an insecurity that they cannot explain, even though the crime happened within the family.
