Esmerald Balla , the 30-year-old who killed his father and then threw him into a well in an attempt to lose his tracks, has confessed new details of the crime that shocked Shënavlash.
He declared before the investigators that it was not his intention to kill his father, but that everything happened by accident.
" We have a single small farm and we both worked there with my father and other family members. Economically things were going very well and we didn't have any problems as everyone did their own tasks. I am building a new house (next to where they live) and the work went very well. We at home from several years of work had an amount of nearly 75 thousand euros. On the day of the event, I went to collect the money after the contractor demanded payment because he had closed the work we had agreed on. I went to the place to get the money and pay it and found that 75 thousand euros were missing. I say to my father "where is the money"!? "I don't know", he told me. The safe was damaged with strong tools. It was open. That's where I start to argue. I will kill you, he said and took the pistol and pointed it at me. At one point I approached him and held his hands. At the moment when I was trying to take the pistol from his hand, it was fired ", Esmeraldi initially stated. Continuing his story, Esmerald told him that he did not intend to kill his father and considered it an accident.
" When the gun was fired and after I saw that my father was shot, my world collapsed because I did not want this to happen. I panicked. I didn't know what to do. I was afraid to report the crime to the police even though it was an accident. I took the body in the car and we have a well somewhere 1 thousand meters away from the house. I threw it there to hide it. I turned off the phone, removed the card and threw the wire into the well. But I didn't feel well. I got anxious and felt bad. I went to the Durres hospital for a visit. The doctors gave me some medicine. After a couple of days, I reported my missing father to the police. Now the police said that the father had taken the money and disappeared with another woman. I also informed the brothers. I told him that the father ran away from home. This continued for several days until you discovered the incident. I'm very sorry, I didn't want it to go like this ", said Esmerald Balla, among other things .
