Peqin, thief kills agent then self

One week ago, an electrical power transformer that served to charge the aqueduct water pumps had been stolen, and police was keeping the area under surveillance after the transformer was replaced. The Peqin Police agents were notified by a phone call that the power transformer was being stolen again. A group of police agents rushed to the location, where they found the citizen Leonardo Tabaku.

Caught by surprise, Tabaku shot with his firearm and killed the agent Zabit Caka. After a few moments, the other police agents found the citizen Leonard Tabaku dead, who appeared to have committed a suicide.

The preliminary investigations drew suspicions that the thief was not acting alone. The Police of Serious Crimes have also been involved in the investigation of this crime that took the life of a police agent.

The author of the murder and the suicide, Leonard Tabaku lived in a house in Sheze village, Peqin. The people who knew him expressed their shock, saying that the 40-year-old man had his own business in the area.

In the ceremony of the killed agent that was held today participated even the Prime Minister Sali Berisha and high rank police officials.

Zabit Caka had married one of the four daughters one week ago, and this Thursday he was serving his duty. After receiving the information that the electrical power transformer was being stolen again, Zabit rushed to the location with his team and was shot to death as soon as he opened the vehicle door. His colleagues heard another gunshot in the dark and found the body of Leonard Tabaku 10 meters further, who had shot himself. The police found the gun and the vehicle of Tabaku.
