Jakup Shahu, who stabbed his wife in the stomach and neck, is known for justice.
Six months ago, he was arrested by the Tirana police for violence, but he spent only three days in prison and was then released.
The cause of the injury in the early hours of the morning was jealousy, so he shot his 46-year-old wife Edlira Shahu with a knife.
The latter is under the care of doctors at the hospital and is out of danger.
Criminal history of the victim
Jakup (Arben) Shahu shot dead 28-year-old Arjan Mejdani on September 7, 2011 at around 8:40 p.m., in the "Selitë" neighborhood, on "Irfan Tomini" street in Tirana.
The perpetrator of the crime, citizen Agron Isiu, as well as the victims, Bujar Mejdani and Arben Muharremi, were involved in the fight (the latter two were injured).
Jakup Shahu, who shot dead 28-year-old Arjan Mejdani, was arrested after the incident, while Agron Isiu su, the author of wounding two people injured in the incident, Bujar Mejdani and Arben Muharremi.
The victim, the injured and the perpetrators, who belong to the Roma community, had a conflict for reasons of jealousy, a conflict that had tragic consequences.
The quarrel between Jakup Shah and the victim, Arjan Mejdani, was caused by the constant conflict of their wives. The wives of the two protagonists of the event claimed adultery.
After the event, the perpetrators escaped but were left in the mud by the car they were trying to leave Tirana with. The vehicle was not supplied with enough fuel, leaving it in the middle of the road, near the Customs roundabout, in the direction of the Kamza Turn.
They were caught in the act when they were pushing the car towards the nearest gas station and were arrested. The police said that as material evidence they seized a 7.62 mm pistol, model 54 TT, and an automatic comb with cartridges.
jealousy
One person was killed and two others were injured during the armed conflict between the residents of the Roma community in the headquarters of Tirana. The event happened around 20:40 on September 7, in the middle of the buildings where the majority of the Roma community lives.
The police and eyewitnesses said that the event could have had even greater proportions if the Kalashnikov automatic weapon, with which he killed and injured two people, was not blocked.
28-year-old Arjan Mejdani was seriously injured and died 15 minutes after arriving at the Military Hospital. While his father, Bujar Mejdani, and the latter's brother-in-law, Arben Muharremi, were injured.
The wife of the suspect Jakup Shahu, a week before the incident, went to the victim's bar, where the murder took place, and started arguing with the wife of Arjan Mejdani, accusing her of taking her husband.
There the conflict started between the two wives, first with words and then they started hitting each other with hard objects. During this debate, the members of the victim's family were also present, who intervened, temporarily ending the violence between them. The fight has continued almost every day.
According to witnesses, both women, whenever they met on the street or in a bar, fought with each other, grabbing each other's hair, until other people went to separate them. The victim Arjan Mejdani was made aware of this ongoing conflict, who was told by his relatives, but also by other residents of the neighborhood who had seen the constant fights between his wife and the author's wife.
After hearing the version of his wife, with whom he had 3 children, Mejdani went to meet Jakup Shahu, who lived near his house. Arguing with him, Shah's wife intervened, who also narrated the story of betrayal by her husband and the victim's wife. This debate took place two days before the crime took place.
According to sources from the investigative group, this was also the cause of the debate that started before the weapons were used. Initially, the victim and the injured started arguing with the two perpetrators in their bar, and then they took out their weapons from a "dum-dum" that was parked in front of the bar and started shooting at them.
