The court of Lezha has sentenced Oltion Vlashin and Klaudio Përkolen to 30 years in prison as accomplices in the murder of Bujar Lika and Paulin Gjergjit, which happened in May 2020 in a bar in Kurbin.
The two young men were found guilty of the criminal offenses of "murder committed in collaboration" and "arms without a permit", while the verdict was given by the jury chaired by judge Sokol Shehu.
The Lezha prosecutor's office had also requested this measure of punishment, which managed to prove that the two people who are still on the run were accomplices in the double murder.
Earlier, for the murder of Bujar Lika and Paulin Gjergji, Eduart Lamaj was sentenced to life imprisonment in the role of the executor and Ilir Likaj (Xhepaj) to 33 years in prison in the role of the assistant in this crime.
The latter was arrested a few months after the incident in the Yzberisht area of Tirana, while Eduart Lamaj was handcuffed while receiving treatment at a private clinic in the "Student City" area, after being wounded in the leg by the exchange of fire with one of the victims, citizen Bujar Lika.
This episode helped the police quickly clarify the event and identify the perpetrators, while the motives of the event continue to remain unclear.
Bujar Lika and Paulin Gjergji were executed with a barrage of bullets while they were drinking coffee in a bar on the side of the Milot-Thumanë highway, while the 4 perpetrators drove away with a golf 5 type vehicle.
