A 42-year-old man from the city of Skrapar is reported to have committed suicide by jumping into the river. The serious incident occurred yesterday evening, at a place called "Blezënkës Bridge", near the Osumi Canyons in Skrapar.
At the scene, a motorcycle he was riding, some personal belongings and his cell phone were also found. After examining the 42-year-old's cell phone, his last message was also found, which he had sent to his brother-in-law, telling him that he was jumping into the river.
Ilir Kurti worked as a guard at a hydroelectric power plant in Skrapar. He had been married to a Romanian citizen, with whom he had a son, but they had separated 7 months ago.
His ex-wife had left for Romania and since that day Ilir had not met his son or spoken to him again.
According to family members, he had been isolated for months and was suffering greatly from being separated from his son. Police sources indicate that it is initially suspected that this citizen was thrown into the river, so searches are ongoing to find him and to fully document the circumstances of the case.
