Skënder Hita, director of the Durrës Police, said tonight in "Opinion" that the group of investigators are convinced that Pëllumb Meta was executed by his eldest son, Hyseni.
According to him, the latter made the plan together with his sister a few days after he had returned from emigration.
But why does Hygerta take on the crime?
According to the director of the Durrës Police, with the idea that she can receive a lighter sentence than her brother. (Albanian Penal Code is guided by the principle of humanity and has a positive discrimination when the suspected perpetrator of the criminal offense is a woman or a girl. Which means that in this particular case, if it is proven that the crime was committed by a girl, she escapes life imprisonment So the maximum that a woman or girl can be sentenced to is 35 years of imprisonment.)
- Are you sure that the murder was done by the eldest son?
Skender Hita: From the circumstances of the investigation, it turns out that the brother and sister planned and were present when the incident happened. The other son was at work, the wife was out. They saw it on the same day, the 4th, and continued to hide all traces. They presented the father, as an autocratic father, who had trouble in the family, and they listened to him blindly. There it was not a question of daily physical violence, but there was definitely previous violence, or psychological violence. We are convinced that the boy committed the murder, despite the fact that Hygerta takes it upon herself to protect the rest of the family, thinking that since she is a girl, the punishment is easier for her.
