After the broadcast of the show "With an Open Heart" on News42, hosted by moderator and author Evis Ahmeti, where Xhuana Nikollaj's father spoke for the first time, giving a chilling testimony just 24 hours after his daughter's burial, public opinion was deeply shaken by his pain and words.
He recounted to the editorial staff his final moments, the morning phone call with his daughter, her silence about everything she might have experienced, and the family's decision to leave the full revelation of the event to the justice system. A simple story, but one filled with weight and pain, that raised many questions about what had happened behind closed doors.
Meanwhile, serious details from the event were also made public, including suspicions of violence and the circumstances that preceded the tragic act, making the need for the truth even stronger.
Today, the show "With an Open Heart" aired another testimony from a family member of her ex-husband Eraldo Fizi, bringing more elements to a story that has affected the entire public opinion and that demands justice. Eraldo's family member denied rumors that Xhuana's ex-mother-in-law has exercised violence against the latter.
" I express my condolences to the family. We are shocked for many reasons. I was very close to the engagement ceremony, the wedding. A happy couple, in whose eyes we saw only love. I express my condolences to the family, to cope with this great pain, which I would never wish even on my enemy. I want to be honest. I have been married to this family for 40 years. They are a wonderful family, they are not violent. We never thought it would happen.
Everything will be clarified by justice, but she will never return. Anyone who enters this family as a bride is a blessing. We heard the news on TV. I screamed when I heard it, it seems unbelievable. I can't express the pain. As far as I know, from what I have seen with my own eyes, the boy's family is also in pain. There have been no cases of violence. I don't believe there was violence. We didn't know they were separated, we were shocked when the incident happened. He was working from Montenegro.
I don't believe he was in Italy. They were all like a family working. We are shocked. I have met Eraldo since the wedding. After the event I spoke to our family. Eraldo's family is shocked, they just cry. It seems unbelievable to them. They don't know why Eraldo escaped. Eraldo suffered a facial paralysis just before the wedding. We don't know how this happened, we haven't slept for a week.
I have a message for all youth, violence is not a solution, if there was one. They have known each other since adolescence, since the third year of high school. I have only seen happiness in their eyes. I don't think a mother could do this to her son, to rape his daughter-in-law. Her ex-mother-in-law is very sensitive, very compassionate. She was so happy when she married them both ," concluded the family member of the Fizi couple.
