Enea Mekolli, only 34 years old, the father of a small child, fell today as a martyr for the homeland in the early hours of this Thursday morning, during a police operation to arrest the much-wanted Violand Braçellari. In an attempt to put a fugitive in handcuffs, bullets took the life of the 34-year-old police officer, cutting off his dreams and the life he had ahead of him.
Mourning has once again fallen upon the Mekolli family, a family that it seems fate has struck twice in the most merciless way. Two sons, both dressed in State Police uniforms, and today neither of them is gone.
A few years ago, Enea's older brother lost his battle with a serious illness, leukemia. He was also a police officer, just like his brother who fell in the line of duty today, leaving behind a void that can no longer be filled.
According to journalist Xhensil Shkëmbi, this family, broken by grief, is experiencing a double tragedy, a mother who has already accompanied one son to his last home and the next day, unfortunately, will accompany the other son.
"A father who sees his son dead. The Mekolli family is experiencing double the pain. The Mekolli family has a tragic history because they had two sons, both police officers and today they are both gone. The eldest son lost his life due to a disease like leukemia a few years ago, and he was also a police officer like his brother.
Meanwhile, today Enea Mekolli fell a martyr for the homeland. He went to arrest a wanted man and a mother will bury her other son, she has placed one and will place another the next day. Both policemen," said the journalist.
