40-year-old Hekuran Billa was executed last night inside his car, in front of a shopping center in the the Komuna e Parisit area in Tirana.
According to sources, the victim had only five days entered our country through the Morina border crossing point, as it turns out to have been in Belgium, but the reasons for his trip are unclear.
The main focus of the investigation is Hekuran Billa’s past, as in 2006 he executed a man in a bar in England, Prel Marku, while injuring three others, Petrit Brahoj, Agron Gjoni and Musa Rrahmani.
For these offenses, a court in England sentenced Hekuran Billa to life imprisonment.
Nine years later, in 2016, at the request of the Albanian Ministry of Justice, he was extradited to Albania to serve the remainder of his sentence.
Top Channel learns that he was released from prison in Albania on February 23, 2019, according to the decision of Judge Enkeleida Hoxha, who ruled that Billa had been in prison for 19 years and had five years left.
The court ordered a probation service for Hekuran Billa for the next five years, in order for him to be rehabilitated. The court took into account the claim of the prisoner who insisted that his parents were elderly and living alone.
The evidence that convinced the court is reported to be a series of medical records proving Billa’s parents’ poor health, as well as a work contract that Billa had secured that guaranteed his employment as a courier in a studio in the capital.
These documents were never checked, as was the 40-year-old’s suspended sentence.
