She asked him why he had come home and he replied, "I know."

The father-son relationship was strained; when he was two years old, his parents divorced, and from a very difficult childhood, the young man, who is now accused of murder, committed several incidents.

One of them is the stabbing of his father a year ago. The file that Top Channel journalist Anila Hoxha has lists dozens of testimonies, including eyewitnesses who saw the young man shoot himself with a firearm, as well as his family members and the testimony of a girl.

What does the killer say?

Top Channel journalist Anila Hoxha says that Kristjan has requested a free lawyer because none of his parents can afford to pay for a defense attorney.

Further questioned by the investigation team, he provides details:

"I was alone on the sidewalk in front of the premises opposite the cinema. On the road in front of where he was, a black Mercedes-Benz C-Class passed by. I don't remember the license plate of the vehicle, but I know that the vehicle is used or owned by Johan Zuko. About two weeks ago, I had a verbal conflict with Johan. The cause of the conflict was the fact that Johan Zuko had harassed a friend of mine. I asked him not to harass her, and during the conflict I slapped him.

When he drove by, I spoke to him and he stopped. The goal was to clarify the previous conflict with him. Immediately after the vehicle stopped, I approached the car window. At this moment, Johan Zuko pulled out a knife and tried to stab me.

After that, Johan got out of the vehicle and approached me, trying to stab me again. To avoid the blow, I kicked him. There was another person in his vehicle, a boy.

After getting out of the vehicle, this person held me and at that moment Johani tried to hit me and cursed me with dirty words.

At this moment, some people who were there intervened and separated us. After the separation, Johani and the other person left again in a vehicle, while I ran away towards my apartment. Then, in a state of anger, I took the firearm from the house, a rifle, I had found this weapon earlier and kept it hidden in the apartment.

I took it from where I was hiding it, put it in a white bag, and set off on foot toward the neighborhood where Johan lived.

When I arrived, I saw Joan who was standing next to a bar opposite the market. After seeing him, I approached him and pulled out my gun. As I was approaching him, he cursed at me again and then ran away.

I followed him. He entered a building and I followed him, and at that point I shot him with a gun, aiming for his legs.

After the shooting, I didn't see if he was injured or what had happened to him, but I left.

When I arrived at the Woods Field, I hid the gun by placing it in some bushes and then went to the apartment, changed, and put my clothes in the washing machine.

"Then I went out and entered an uninhabited house, near my house," he stated./TCH
