After we met, since the couple didn't speak English well, the lady offered me her phone and, using Google Translate, told me that they would be staying for two weeks, but they didn't have any identification documents with them because their suitcases had been left at the airport and were waiting to be picked up.
And as soon as they received these documents along with the suitcases, they would make them available to me. Adnan Z. says that the girl was introduced to him from Palestine, while the boy was from Lebanon. And that they currently live in Germany, in Berlin, the place from where they had come to Albania.
He further says that he did not ask them about their relationship with each other, as it seemed unimportant at that moment. The last contact that Adnan Z. says he had with the two foreign clients was on February 21. When he received a thank-you message from the other end of the phone.
From that day until February 27, Ardita A. and her friend Adnan Z. say they had no further communication with the two clients.
Mr. Adnan
We went to the bedroom where the door was closed and after knocking several times, we opened it and there we saw that there was a man covered with a blanket on the bed, where we also felt a heavy smell. What I want to say is that in none of the days that I was in this apartment, I heard any noise. Meanwhile, Adnan Z. confirmed through the photos made available that the foreign citizen who had rented the apartment was Rayyan Aluan. He also affirmed the same thing after being confronted with the photo of citizen Fadi Aluan.
Both photos were taken from the TIMS system. The same statements were made by his friend Ledion Xh, who turned out to be the point of contact between Adnan Z. and two foreign clients. From the examination of the video footage of February 19, it appears that the two foreigners appear at the Tirana Airport Terminal.
And then at different intervals until late in the evening, they are seen for the last time during this day, as they enter the premises of the rented apartment, on 'Gjon Muzaka' street in Tirana. The outings continued until February 21. Where the only one who is noticed leaving and entering the apartment is Fadi Aluan.
While on February 22, the cameras captured the foreign citizen Fadi Aluan, as he left the apartment alone, without his companion. And just a few hours later he was noticed alone at the 'Mother Teresa' Airport Terminal. On February 20, 2025, at 1:19 PM, the citizen Fadi Aluan appears leaving the apartment's yard and returns to the apartment at 1:40 PM, with a box in his hand, apparently like those of pizza boxes. On February 21, 2025, Fadi Aluan leaves the house at 11:25 AM and returns at 12:00 PM.
On February 22, 2025, the suspected perpetrator appears leaving the rented apartment at 05:23 and holding two plastic bags in his hands. What made this story even more intriguing is that Fadi Aluan, despite being a Palestinian citizen and living in Germany, was carrying Greek documents as well as a Kosovo passport.
Meanwhile, the two foreigners had only purchased a one-way ticket and not a return ticket. On February 22, 2025, at 09.50, he traveled from the 'Mother Teresa' International Airport and at 12.05, he arrived at the 'Eleftherios Venizelos' airport in Athens, Greece.
And on this same date he traveled to Amsterdam, the Netherlands. And here it seems that the traces of Fadi Aluan, who is now the main suspect in the murder of the 24-year-old Palestinian in Tirana, Rayyan Aluan, have also been lost. Meanwhile, what adds even more mystery is whether Fadi and Rayyan were life partners or father and daughter.
This referred to a Dutch media article dated March 2, 2025 with the title. 'Father suspected of murder and rape of daughter, hiding in Amsterdam'. 'Police suspect it was a premeditated murder, possibly for honor. Initially it was thought that the perpetrator was her life partner, but it was later discovered that it was her father who had listed her as his 'wife'.
Police also suspect that a rape preceded the murder and are investigating the relationships between the suspects and the circumstances surrounding their periods of residence and the use of false identity papers. /Taken from the show Në Shënjestër
