For the first time, Elona Kalesha, the 36-year-old Albanian woman accused of murdering her ex-boyfriend's parents, Teuta and Shpëtim Pasho, has "opened up" while being interrogated by the Florence Prosecutor's Office. According to Italian media, in the past, Elona had used the right not to answer the investigators.
However, yesterday for more than seven hours Elona was interrogated by deputy prosecutors Galeotti and Beatrice Giunti and by prosecuting attorneys Cristina Masetti and Eleonora Rossi in the Santa Verdiana courtroom. The young woman recalled the story with Taulant Pashon, which began with a meeting in a pub in 2009 and then culminated in cohabitation since 2012. In 2014, he is in prison and she writes him a message with two sprays (" I love you Taulant- I miss you”) on a wall in front of the Solicciano prison, near the field where the suitcases with the bodies of his parents were found: I knew that area, ten minutes from my house, I always went with the dogs.
She then revealed that she had killed her in-laws so they wouldn't tell her son, who had just been released from prison, that she had an abortion in October 2015.
"With Taulanti we conceived a child in Sollicciano, which I terminated on October 27, 2015 and he knew."
Taulanti himself had said in court that he did not know about that pregnancy, claiming that he could not have intercourse in prison. This was the final conclusion of a true saga with Albanian protagonists in Florence, which became known as the "troops in suitcases" event. Three suitcases, and then a fourth, were found in December 2020 in Firenze. Inside them, the remains of two individuals, a man and a woman.
The couple Teuta and Shpëtim Pasho were found dismembered in Italy in 4 suitcases, five years after their disappearance. Since November 2015, which also coincides with the time when their son was released from prison, nothing was heard about them. They were found near the prison where the boy served his sentence, from where the murder is thought to have taken place. The detail that helped identify the bodies was a tattoo on the dismembered man's arm, which was later confirmed.
The strongest proof was doing their DNA, which proved it was them. In the meantime, the Italian police continue their investigations in the complete disclosure of the macabre murder of the Albanian couple. Already accused of the crime is Elona Kalesha, who at the time of the couple's disappearance was the girlfriend of their son, Taulanti, who has been arrested since December 22./ voice
