Elbasan, murder suspects 60 days in prison

The trial started with the two police officers, Sami Dertila and Rashat Budani, who were left in prison until trial.

The suspected killers, Florenc Capja and Ajet Jace, were left 60 days in prison while the Prosecution had asked prison until trial.

According to the Prosecution, Gentian Beqiri, paralyzed and in house arrest, was executed in his residence in front of his father, while the house was being guarded by two policemen.

Police said that the killers introduced themselves as friends to the victim and then they shot the victim and physically attacked his father, Nezir Beqiraj, who died later in hospital.

The relatives of the two murder suspects brought evidence about their whereabouts during the time of murder.

The crime in Elbasan

The Capja family has sent an open letter to the Albanian President, Prime Minister, US Ambassador, General Prosecutor and the media, in which they reject the facts of the police regarding the arrest of their son, Florent Capja.

Florent Capja is suspected of killing the 35-year-old Gentian Beqiraj when he was in house arerst.

The Capja family claims that Florent had gone to Macedonia 48 hours before the murder.

“We have the footage of the hotel where Florent stayed on the day of the murder”, says the open letter of the murder suspect’s family.

The 35-year-old was killed at his house, where he was being guarded by two policemen. He was executed with a silenced gun in front of his father, who also died a few hours later of a heart attack caused by the shock.

The first motive for the police is a crime committed years ago, that leads to the murder of businessman Sokol Capja, a murder for which the 35-year-old Beqiraj was being investigated.

But he had been wounded with a bullet in the shoulder, and the court let him stay in house arrest during the trial, under police custody.

Some people went to Beqiri’s apartment this Wednesday and presented themselves as Beqiri’s friends.

The house was opened by his father, but they entered to kill Beqiri and then escape.

After the trial for the murder of Capja, Beqiri had changed his name and was known as Ardian Metaj. The Police arrested both officers that were responsible for watching him.

A few hours after the death of Beqiri, the police returned again to the home for taking his father, Nezir Beqiri, who suffered a heart attack after the shock and the physical attacks. He died as soon as he arrived at the ER.
