A police officer and his brother are the perpetrators of the murder of the 52-year-old businessman Eduart Reçi, which happened on November 13 of this year near "Elbasan Street" in Tirana. Shkëlqim and Florian Duka have been arrested by the police as perpetrators of the serious incident.
According to the police, the reason for the murder of the 52-year-old businessman was a conflict he had with his two brothers regarding the ownership of a plot of land on which a palace would be built.
Eduart Reçi was committed to building a palace, a project which required cooperation and agreement with other people who owned the adjacent property. Clashes for the building of the building and for the properties have brought the conflict between the police officers of Commissariat No. 2, Shkëlqim Duka and his brother Florian Duka with the builder Reçin.
The businessman was shot by a modern pistol with a silencer as soon as he had left the entrance of the building in the courtyard of the building. Policeman Shkëlqim Duka was positioned at a distance of about 30 meters from the victim. Since his shooting skills were high, he executed the victim with only one bullet.
By order of the court, the police searched the apartment and the bar of the two brothers where they found and seized, as material evidence, a partially damaged firearm, six cylindrical objects similar to silencers of different sizes, parts and mechanisms of different used for silencers, two bulletproof vests and various electronic devices.
"They have had conflicts together before. But this was not the only conflict the victim had. The turning point was the analysis of film footage. From the film footage, we found that the dynamics started on 8.11.2024 until the 13th when the victim was executed.
When I say dynamics, the suspect, the shooter was placed on a metal ladder from where there was a visual view from the victim's yard on the 8th, 9th, 10th, 12th, 13th, only on the 11th we did not have it documented because the police officer has been on another duty. From the second floor of the staircase, from the film footage, we have seen a person who is positioned with a weapon that appears to be a weapon with binoculars, at a certain time during the night from 7 in the afternoon to 11 o'clock. To get the victim out yard, they were throwing firecrackers", the deputy director of crimes in Tirana, Erion Ismaili, told EuroNews.
Sources indicate that the police officer Shkëlqim Dukaj was kept under surveillance and at the time of the arrest a photo of the firearm believed to have been used for the execution of Eduard Reç was found on his mobile device.
Meanwhile, the other brother Florian Duka is believed to have performed active actions in the event by informing Shkëlqim Dukaj on the movement of the target until his execution.
