When more than 24 hours have passed since the murder that shocked the country, the Shkodra Police and the State Police are still without perpetrators and motives.

While the investigative team returned yesterday to the scene of the crime, they were able to collect only the cartridges they were able to find on that side of the road, where Gjokë and Eduart Gurra fell into the ambush set up by their killers.

The only person who was able to tell something about what he heard and saw is a person, who according to the data is from the tribe of the victims, who at the time he heard the gunshots was trying to put out the fires in Gjokë Gurra's apartment.

He is the only witness of those fatal moments, but he could not identify any person, since according to the data, the ambush was set up at the entrance of the Sumë neighborhood, about 500 meters away from the place where the house was burning. The cousin of the victims, it is learned, left the flames and headed towards the place where the gunshots came from, where he confronted the father and son killed in the car, which according to the police was an SUV.

SEARCHES

Other details have emerged from the murder of father and son, Gjokë and Eduard Gurra, around 4:40 p.m. on June 29, 2023 in the village of Sumë, Administrative Unit of Dukagjin.

It is learned that they were shot with a Kalashnikov rifle, while they were inside the car traveling towards their burnt apartment in Dukagjin, which was deliberately set on fire.

They were shot dead at a bend in a wooded area, about 500 meters before reaching the burnt apartment. They ambushed the perpetrator after they had the correct information that the two victims were going towards their burned apartment and shot them from a distance with a barrage of bullets.

The burning of the house, the day before the assassination, is suspected to have been organized in order to ambush a father and son who had been living in Shkodër for years. The police of Shkodra returned this morning to the scene of the incident in the village of Sumë in the Pulti area to collect new evidence related to the murder.

From the preliminary expertise, it was found that the cartridges seized at the scene were fired from a single Kalashnikov type weapon.

8 cartridges were seized at the scene. In addition to the track that the father and son had timber trading activity, the police have also raised the issue of conflicts over the planting of cannabis sativa, given that the 57-year-old was a police officer in 2008 and recently the village headman of Bruçaj.

It is being verified if he reported any case of drug cultivation and this may have been the reason for the murder. A deliberate arson of their house in Dukagjin has caused Gjokë Gurra, 57 years old, and Eduard Gurra, 31 years old, to go to their place of origin to see the damage caused.

INVESTIGATIONS

Referring to unofficial data, it is reported that the focus of the investigation is the murder due to the duties performed by Gjokë Gurra. Given that for years he was the headman of the village where he was born, there are reasonable doubts that Gurra has performed the duties that the law recognizes for that position.

However, since the police should also be the interacting institution of the chief, the delay in identifying the person or persons directly affected by the exercise of this duty is pointless. Also being investigated is the competition track for the timber trade, a job the Gurra family has been doing for more than a decade. The data show that Gjokë Gurra never had problems because of this work.

According to the first data, it is thought that it was a person who shot, as the police were able to collect cartridges that are suspected to have come from the same weapon. In the meantime, the confessions of the family members, the opening of the phone records and the conflicts that the family may have had over the years to go to the author or the persons interested in executing the father and son are expected.
