A 20-year-old Albanian from Korça was brutally murdered in Sweden, where he was shot more than 25 times with a knife by some people of Arab nationality.
20-year-old Lauren Spaho went to Sweden 7 months ago, where she also worked in construction. The event took place on May 8 in the city of Karlstad in Sweden, but it was not made public.
The 20-year-old from Korça, Lauren Spaho, was at a disco together with some of his peers of Arab nationality. At the disco, a fight started between the peers of the 20-year-old and Lauren intervened to separate his peers, but then after they left the disco, the group of young people of Arab nationality brutally attacked the young Albanian, hitting him over 25 times with a knife.
The 20-year-old was taken to the hospital where he remained in a coma for 24 hours and then unfortunately passed away. For the incident, the Swedish police initially escorted 9 people of Arab nationality, and then 5 of them were arrested and imprisoned. Two others were later released and there are now 3 people in prison for the crime. The Swedish authorities notified the Albanian authorities and then the Albanian police notified the 20-year-old's family about the serious incident.
Although 10 days have passed, the family of the 20-year-old is facing difficulties in getting the body of their son and bringing it to Albania. In a communication to News24, the 20-year-old's family claims that the Albanian authorities have not responded to their requests for help to retrieve their son's body. Lauren's father even tried to go to Sweden himself to get his son's body, but he was not allowed. The family members also claim that the Albanian embassy in Sweden did not help them. While the Swedish authorities want to complete all investigative procedures and are not allowing the family to take the body of the 20-year-old.
