Other details have emerged regarding the murder of 82-year-old Paulin Gina the night before in his apartment in Durrës.
Investigations suspect that the perpetrator, a 39-year-old man identified as Fation Janina, had gone to the elderly man's apartment to ask him for money, but Gina had not given him any.
Under these conditions, Fation Janina hit him with hard objects and a knife, causing him numerous wounds.
The marks on the body and the manner in which the murder was committed (closing the door) have led the police to suspect that the perpetrator was someone known to the victim.
As soon as the security cameras of a nearby gas station started to open, the victim's last movement was detected and the only entrances and exits that occurred in the building during this time slot were those of neighbors.
The police immediately began questioning and searches were conducted in the apartments.
