The killer of 3 women and wounding 3 others on March 1, 2023, Dan Hutra claims that they wanted to poison him in prison in the summer of 2022, when he was arrested for physical and psychological violence against his partner Alketa Hysa.
In a telephone interview from prison 302 for the Uniko show, Dan Hutra says that he was a cellmate with Vladimir Kurti.
According to him, everything started when Marjana Gurakuqi, his ex-girlfriend, who was the first woman to be injured in Astir by the 40-year-old Hutra on March 1, asked him to organize the plan to kill her husband.
Dan Hutra, as he said, did not accept and after this moment Marjana Gurakuqi contacted Vladimir Kurti. To the latter, says Dan Hutra, Marjana Gurakuqi had sent him a pie in prison for a day. The pie, according to Dan Hutra, was poisoned and it was just for him.
Vladimir Kurti, Dan Hutra recounts, offered him the poisoned pie to eat, but the 40-year-old refused.
Dan Hutra: I went in, they put me in jail. They take me to 313. I am placed in building B for health reasons as I suffer from diabetes. I entered the room with Lad Kurti, with Vladimir Kurti. I had the trial in Appeal for change of measure. That night I was rushed to the hospital. That night, Vladimir Kurti stole the number from my overalls pocket and it was the old woman's number and Marjana Gurakuqi's number, and the code was also the number I had registered with the educator. Not exactly 2 months ago, Marjana Gurakuqi told me, I was worried on the phone from prison. And I started laughing, I told him this is impossible. That only I had the code. That we use the numbers in code. And I didn't pay any attention to what he told me. That lady Marjana Gurakuqi had continued talking with Ladi. After 3 and a half months, Marjana Gurakuqi asks me to kill Marcel,
Spartak Koka: How do you ask for this?
Dan Hutra: With a well organized plan she herself that I taught her how these things are done and tells me to eat the monkey. To eat the monkey means Marcel's nickname was the monkey. That monkey I told him on the phone. Let's eat, she says, the monkey, and she has some land that is being built into some palaces and she wanted to get the entrances. I said, what did you say? Gje said 3-4 bags, leave the door unlocked, there are 40 million Lek inside, let them come and take the money. These conversations took place over the phone.
Spartak Koka: With the prison phone?
Dan Hutra: With the prison phone. He told me to take the money in the bags and it would be like a robbery. They kill Marcel and the incident as a robbery. At that time, Marjana had her children and mother-in-law in Greece, and I told her what did she say? Are you in your right mind or not? She saw that I took it very badly and said I was joking, you coward.
Spartak Koka: In what month did this conversation take place?
Dan Hutra: In August. And he told me I was joking, you fool. I immediately hung up the phone and called the information chief at 313 and the ready group. I told him, with a phone connection with my girlfriend, he asked me this this this this. And the chief of information told us, we don't deal with this work, there are other competent people who deal with phone calls and discovering these things. Ok, I said sorry. Tomorrow, I told you, don't tell me I didn't tell you. After this situation, Marjana found out what I had told the chief of information. And I was saying how did you know that. Even I was still doubting. I kept doubting but I couldn't make the connection. I said, does it have anything to do with a policeman, with a convict that I don't know? Meanwhile, one day Vladimir Kurti makes a meeting. A full 20 days had passed since Marjana had asked me to kill the husband. Vladimir makes an appointment, but when Vladimir was brought to an appointment, he didn't know anything. That day I see the bags were barely falling on that cleaner, that worker, inside, I was surprised. A very big difference. That I had bought sneakers, clothes, Digitalb, nightstands, everything I had bought for Ladi. He brings me a bowl of pie. The watch was shaking. I even said I ran into the air. He told me that I was going to the ventilation. I have had breakfast I said. He had brought pie because he knew I liked it. I came out, I was talking on the phone, it came out in the air. When he came, he saw that I hadn't eaten the pie. Haje ore said that it is hot that it gets cold. I say I don't want to. I am telling him very angrily. I mean, something was holding me back. And I take that bowl of pie to give to him who breaks the bread, he shouted, don't give it to him, he said don't give it to him. Why did you take it brother, I said what do you have? He grabbed the pie, he didn't throw it in the garbage can, he squeezed the pie with his hand and threw it into the water hole. I doubted that a lot. Anyway. At dinner, I tell him why you threw the pie. From there we had quite an argument. I also spoke with some unpleasant words. The next day, Marjana Gurakuqi told me, has anyone died in prison? No, I told him. Why, I said? I said no, I asked if anyone died there among you. So Marjana Gurakuqi had brought the pie. She saw that I was alive, obobo said no one else ate the pie.

Spartak Koka: The pie was poisoned according to you?
Dan Hutra: Well, according to me, did you hear what actions Ladi did or not.
Spartak Koka: From this moment when did you start to suspect that this attack was going to happen to you?
Dan Hutra: The next day the head of the regime comes and I tell the head of the regime I want you to change my room. I changed the room within half an hour. After 3 days we had a conflict with Ladi. And the police took me, took me down from the first floor, took me down to the minus. These are documents that are invoiced, all movements. I went down to minus and continued talking with Marjana. I asked Marjana to give me Lek, the 80,000 Euros that I had given her, I asked for it, I said I need the Lek here and there and see what Marjana tells me. The 80,000 Euros he says I have given to someone else to keep and he is not in Albania. I was so irritated that I was persistently asking for the money. And give me only 20 thousand Euros.
Spartak Koka: But where do you bring it?
Dan Hutra: Marjana gave one person to another.
Spartak Koka: Did you take a man?
Dan Hutra: Yes of course. How many people did Marjana know? Wait, Marjana has a different story. The police or the Prosecutor's Office are investigating, Ladi's mother, Marjana, and about 7 other people were in jail today because Ladi's mother took the phone to Marjana, I have their numbers. The number you gave to Marjana who spoke to Vladimir Kurti was given by her own mother. It was not Marjana's number. Even I who spoke with Marjana Gurakuqi was my number, not Marjana's number. I tease Marjana, I tell her who called you. Yes, I said it 2 months ago that someone disturbed me from prison. Not like that. I told him I left 313. He said you didn't leave 313, you changed floors. I told you how do you know? He tells me, Lad Kurti told me. Marjana admitted that she was talking to Vladimir Kurti. I lost my mind.
Commenting on this statement by Dan Hutra, the two guests at Uniko's studio, Journalism professor Zylyftar Bregu and clinical neuropsychologist Elma Miftari, said that the case needs investigation.
Zylyftar Bregu also raised the concern of bringing food into prisons constantly for prisoners, which, according to him, does not happen as often in EU prisons as in Albania.
While Elma Miftari emphasized that the possibility that the entire poisoning plan is Dan Hutra's fantasy is not excluded.
Zylyftar Bregu, Journalism lecturer: Here we enter an area that requires the contribution of you journalists to prove this whole plan because if we believe what we have said so far, it means that it may be a fantasy of his for motivated own behaviors. Of course it could be true, we do not deny this, but this needs to be verified with the prison authorities if there are documents, reports, if there is evidence. Of course, this brings out a big wound of the prison system in Albania, such as that of supplying prisoners with food from outside, a practice not applied in any EU country. You can bring for specific moments, a birthday cake or something that can be eaten in an environment outside the domestic regime, so this brings out another wound.
Elma Miftari, clinical neuropsychologist: If the poisoning plan is a fantasy of Dan Hutra, then we are still connected to the search for the motive because he had divided his mind to make the attack on the other victim as well and necessarily connected it in his mind when it happened the act had the justification ready for why he did it. Because she cheated on me with my roommate and normally tried to poison me./ Clan
