Footage from the scene where Briken Sanaj was killed at Kodra e Diellit in Tirana has been published. From the images published by ABC, it is clearly seen the place where the author was hiding, as well as the place where 39-year-old Briken Sanaj was killed.
In the photo you can see an olive tree, where the perpetrator of the crime who ambushed Briken Sanaj is suspected to be hiding.
After shooting him with 3 Kalashnikov bullets, the perpetrator went down the same road again and then left towards the highway.
Briken Sanaj, who was known as Skerdilajd as a child. For a year he was a resident of Kodra e Dielli residence where he was registered under the name Anton Gjini.
Yesterday evening, he arrived at the residence in the company of two of his friends. As soon as he parked the car in the ditch, the perpetrator, who was waiting for him hiding among some bushes, shot him dead with three bullets in the face, chest and shoulder.
At the hospital, he was taken dead by his two friends in an Audi vehicle. The verifications showed that the author was carrying a backpack where he hid the weapon. He entered from the back of the residence, crossing the barbed wire. He shot the target from a distance of about 30 meters. It turns out that the author was hiding behind an olive tree and had a clear view of the garage where the 39-year-old parked his car.
After about 15 minutes, a "Benz" type vehicle was set on fire in Qafë-Kashar. It is suspected to belong to the perpetrators and inside it, a Kalashnikov weapon was found. After burning it, they left in another vehicle to lose all traces.
The "Benz" was stolen and the license plates were overlapped, stolen in Tirana a few days ago.
This has raised the suspicions of the investigators that the murder of Briken Senaj was premeditated and by professional killers.
He is suspected to have been kept under surveillance from Shengjin until the moment he arrived near his apartment in the capital.
The 39-year-old has no criminal record. The investigative team is verifying any possible conflicts of interest. While the main track that has focused the investigations is that of revenge. In 2012, Antonio Sanaj's brother, also known as Renato, committed an injury in Lezha.
The conflicts started in 2010 with some families originating from Puka, due to the harassment of a girl. The brother of yesterday's victim injured one of the relatives of this family. Despite the efforts for reconciliation between the two families, the conflicts continued to be open.
