Vlore, judge executed with car bomb

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.
