The 33-year-old judge was married, father of two children, 4 and 1 year old. He was going to work with his vehicle and the explosion took place while he was driving, without any other vehicles near him at that moment. The explosion has shocked the passerby citizens who saw the car still moving after the explosion. Some of them rushed to open the destroyed doors.

The explosion had caused his legs to get stuck in the iron parts of the car, and the citizens were unable to remove the body from the vehicle, which took fire right after.

Only after the firefighters put out the flames, the police and citizens removed the body of the judge, who was still alive. The police transported him to hospital before waiting for the ambulance. The judge lost his life right after arriving at the hospital, due to the heavy wounds and serious burns.

This is the second car explosion in the city of Vlore, in a short period of time, causing terror. A few months before, Renato Abazi was executed with the same style in the city center.

Mafia style execution

After verifying the owner of the vehicle, the Police of Vlore suddenly understood that this was a much serious murder attempt than the two others that had taken place in Vlore. The crime scene was almost the same with the other two, the victim was the difference.

The best experts of the State Police arrived at the crime scene and stated that the car of Judge Skerdilajd Konomi was charged with a considerable quantity of explosive which was remotely controlled. A few hours later, the investigators ran into another fact that classified this event as a mafia-style crime.

Judge Konomi had just bought an expensive new “Mercedes”. The old Mercedes that he used today was usually used by his wife. One day before the murder, someone had slashed the tires of the new car with a knife, obliging the judge to use the other car for going to work. Police experts declared that it was difficult for the murderers to place the explosive on the new car, due to the modern security systems, while with the old car was very easy.
