Assassination, murder and tritol / From the infamous Dan Hutra to the execution
Assassination, murder and tritol

The year 2023 has undoubtedly been a year filled with many events and developments in the black chronicle. Murder, assassination, revenge, injuries and many other keywords have dominated the news headlines for the year we are leaving behind. Many people involved in the world of crime and business have fallen prey to the 'tritol' and 'weapon', or there have been ordinary citizens who lost their lives, just because they were in the wrong time and place.

The first criminal event took place in Prizren, where 3 young men from Kuksi collided with Dibran Hoxhajn, known as 'Cobra'. The fight started after the young people refused to pay the bill of 400 euros that they had consumed at Dibran Hoxhajt's bar. After the physical fight, Hoxhaj took out his gun and shot at the customers. As a result of the shooting, Visar Cengu was killed and his friend was injured.

At midnight on February 25, the town of Kuçova was shocked, when 54-year-old Krenar Brisku broke into the Shushari family's apartment to steal chickens, and at that exact moment, the young man caught him and raped him, causing serious fractures to his head. and in the body. Although he was immediately sent to the regional hospital of Berat, and then brought to "Trauma" in Tirana for more specialized treatment, unfortunately, Bicak could not survive his injuries and passed away on March 4, 2023. Bjorni Shushari, only 22 years old was alone at home on the night of the incident, as his parents were not at home. He heard a noise, went out to see what would happen, where he spotted the thief, whom he beat to death.

The massacre of murders in Albania continued in March with Dan Hutra. At noon on March 1st, Hutra went to Astir to stab Marjana Gurakuqi, whom she accused of not returning a sum of money, without causing much noise. Thanks to some customers who entered the store and her reaction she was able to escape with some injuries to her hand and face. Immediately after this event, he went to Kodër Kamëz where he shot at the family of his ex-cohabitant, injuring ex-cohabitant Elena Hysa, 35 years old, and her mother Kujtime Hysa, 60 years old, and killing Mevlute Hysan, 30 years old, the sister of his ex-partner and Hasime Dafkun, 30 years old, the fiancee of the ex-partner's brother. Then he went to Kamez and killed the sister of his opponent in prison, Etleva Kurti. Hurta, after this massacre he committed, left towards the Combine, as he had a fourth person as his target to eliminate, but luckily he was stopped by the police, after a few hours on the run.

A sad moment that undoubtedly remained in our memory in the year that I left behind was the massacre of March 12 in Don Bosco. Two people shot volleys of bullets in the direction of Fatjon Murat's bar, leaving the bartender Mimoza Paja, 58 years old, dead and five others injured, among them a 10-year-old girl who was damaged by broken windows. Paja's only 'guilt' was working two jobs to support her family, as they were in dire economic straits. The other injured are Sahit Murati (Fatjon Murat's uncle), Astrit Meraj, Emanuel Sala, Ermir Bejuku, Genc Shohalli, all of whom are out of danger. Murat himself was outside Albania at the time the assassination was carried out. He is known in the world of crime and as a close friend of Endri Dokles, he was even questioned about the Fushë Kruja massacre, where Brilant Martinaj and his two friends were killed.

Another attack that has shaken the media field was undoubtedly the attack on Top Channel television. The serious attack happened shortly after midnight on March 27 and the victim was the security guard, Pal Kola, 60 years old. The perpetrators approached the television facility in a 'Range Rover' and shot with two Kallshnikovs. Then, they left in the direction of Kashari, entered the Tirana-Durres highway and took the road to Golem where they burned the car used in the crime. The police have asked for help from citizens for valuable information and are offering a reward of 100,000 euros.

"Why are you looking at me" and "Go where you came from", this is the motive of the double murder that shocked Kavaja in March. Edmond (Armand) Gosa and Altin (Sali) Rexha met in a bar in the city to clarify about a fight that happened three days ago. They had gone 'prepared' to the meeting, as the first had taken a knife with him, while the other a firearm. The pair initially confronted each other verbally and physically. Then, Gosa shot Rexha with a knife, while the latter retaliated by shooting three times with a firearm. Both were taken to the hospital to receive the necessary medical assistance, but died.

Another serious event was undoubtedly the murder of Ardian Nikulaj inside his bar in Shengjin. The orderer and organizer is Edmond Haxhia, who has been arrested, along with three Britons Thomas Mithan, Steve Hunt and Harriet Bridgeman. All four of them have been handcuffed, as the British authorities have accepted as legal the request made by the State Police. Harry Simpson, also accused as an accomplice, remains wanted for this incident. Ruben Saravia escaped from Albania through the Kapshtica Customs, together with the British Harry Simson, in the direction of Greece. It is not known what route the Portuguese took to reach Morocco. The British are suspected to have been informers, they stayed right at the resort owned by businessman Ardian Nikulaj and according to the investigators, they observed his and the staff's movements for days, which they then reported to the Portuguese Ruben Saraiva.

The quarrel between the Gosa and Rexha families did not end in March with the murder of two family members. All this after Gosa insulted him about his origins and said "Maloks have no place in Kavaja" and then started shooting him with a knife even though he had his infant son by the hand. Rexha shot him with a firearm, and as a result both died on the spot. But the situation has not calmed down! When the Gosa family thought that the feud was over because the two involved in the incident had died, they forgot about the minor son. The Rexha family also considered him as a possible victim, so Habib Rexha also returned from Germany to get the hack and then left in the direction of Kukes.

In Dukagjin, Shkodra, father and son Gjokë Gurra, 57 years old, and Eduard Gurra, 31 years old, were executed on June 29 with firearms in the village of Sumë. Father and son had gone to see their house in the village that was intentionally burned on Wednesday evening, since they live in Shkodër. Before arriving at the burned-out apartment, some people ambushed them and shot them with Kalashnikov automatic firearms, leaving them dead on the spot inside the vehicle. The police have raised the conflict track for planting cannabis sativa, given that the 57-year-old man was a police officer in 2008 and recently the headman of Bruçaj village.

Lezha has been shocked again by the murder of Nikolin Lekstakaj during the month of July. The 42-year-old was executed with Kalashnikov volleys by unidentified persons as soon as he left a market. The perpetrators shot from a moving car and this is proven by the remains of broken windows that the car they were driving left at the scene. The investigators believe that the event may be revenge after the murder of Ardian Nikulaj 3 months ago. The Lekstakaj tribe was in an early conflict that also brought victims with the Nikulaj tribe.

In August, a serious event took place in the center of Vlora. Armando Meshau, 55 years old, was at an internet point to print documents and started to conflict with another person who was also in the internet environment. The debate further degenerated into punches, where the cause was a flat. And according to sources inside the internet point, the 55-year-old argued with the person who was inside, insulting him and told him that: "You are not going to take the apartment with banal words." Meanwhile, he punched him twice in the face and from the blow he fell unconscious and lost his life. The 55-year-old engineer by profession died from the aggressor's punches, as he could not survive as a result of the severe violence. The serious incident took place in the premises of an Internet center in the "Hajro Çakërri" neighborhood around 11:45.

September started with the murder of Martin Bardhi in Rrëshan. Ilir Bardhoku, Olti Gjini, Indrit Bardhi were all 3 sitting at a table with Martin (Marku) Bardhi, when a machine gun was fired in their direction. 59-year-old Martin (Marku) Bardhin, who according to all data was also the target of this assassination, was killed by the shooting. The serious incident happened around 10:40 in the victim's bar located in the center of Rrëshen. As for the perpetrators, they are suspected to be 2 masked people, who were driving an SUV that was found burnt in the village of Gëziq in Mirdita.

At the beginning of October, an attack took place in Dukagjin. The victim of the assassination was Zef Guri, 73 years old, and his son, Gjin Guri, 46 years old, was injured. It is suspected that the incident is revenge, as the injured Gjin Guri is not an unknown name to the police. In 2015, then 38 years old, he appeared on the list of 10 wanted persons after he fired a gun at the police helicopter during a patrol to detect areas with cannabis. He was sentenced by the court to 7 years in prison. While on November 15, 2021, a quantity of tritol was placed in his bar.

The Nikulaj tribe is shocked again in December. Entjan Nikulaj was executed with a Kalashnikov volley on the Milot-Lezhë axis on the evening of December 2. The 40-year-old is the son of Ardian Nikulaj's uncle, who was executed on April 19 of this year in his bar in Shengjin for blood feud. Entjan Nikulaj was shot at the entrance to Lezha while driving his off-road vehicle, while 3 people are suspected of having participated in his murder.

In December, the Ministry of Justice and the network of High Security prisons were shaken. Sokol Mjacaj shot with a firearm at the prisoners Indrit Shaqja and Arben Lleshi in Peqin prison. The latter could not survive his injuries, while Shaqja is out of danger for life. The convict for the murder of two Czech tourists held hostage at gunpoint the kitchen workers in the institution of deprivation of liberty, who were released after a few hours with the intervention of numerous police forces and RENEA, who have brought the situation under control. For the incident, 12 people have been suspended and are under investigation, including the director of Peqin Prison, while it is suspected that Mjacaj was paid for the murder of Lleshi.
