A 21-year-old man from Kamza has been declared wanted by the Saranda police, after allegedly threatening the family members of former Democratic Party candidate for MP, Matilda Qurku, with a cold weapon.
The incident took place in neighborhood no. 4 of Saranda, near the restaurant owned by Qurku's family. Mariglen Bajrami, 21, had a verbal altercation with Qurku's family members and then approached her father, holding a knife hidden behind his back. The incident was filmed and reported to the police, who have announced a search for the young man.
Qurku himself wrote in a reaction on Facebook:
"One of the most difficult nights of my life as a mother.
A violent person, for no reason, appeared with a knife in his hand in front of my bar.
He approached the car where my children (2 and 10 years old), two grandsons and husband were.
When the grandson saw the gun, he said:
"Speed up, there's a gun!"
Elidon leaves to save the children, but immediately calls me:
"Go help Don, they're approaching him with a gun!"
My father was very close to the aggressor.
I go out without thinking twice and confront him.
Random citizens also reacted, whom I thank with all my heart.
The aggressor leaves… but not to stop.
He chases the car and hits it five times in a row, with speed and clear intent to do harm.
My nephew's voice on the phone screaming,
"Help us, he's killing us!"
is something I will never forget.
Last night you saw me running like a "crazy" through the streets of my neighborhood in search of my family, whom someone was trying to kill - without committing any crime.
The only connection to this man is that his parents, former employees of my business, have left of their own accord and in total peace, receiving the requested payment.
I ask for nothing more than what belongs to us as citizens:
SECURITY and JUSTICE.
???? Immediate action by the State Police to catch the perpetrator
???? Protection for my family.
???? Law enforcement for all.
