On May 3, 2001, Xheladin Kruja is accused of killing two brothers Eliton and Enton Grezda, 20 and 18 years old, in the neighborhood "Naim Gjylbegu" in Shkodër.
The murder happened after a fight between young people when Kruja was also 22 years old at the time. After the fight, he went home, took the machine gun and fired a volley at the two brothers.
He fled the scene and was arrested two days later. While he was serving his sentence in the prison of Saint Kolli, on June 3, 2021, he tried to kill the former head of the municipality of Rrethina, Kleves Muja.
A year later, in 2013, he was sentenced to 16 years and 8 months in prison and sent to a high security prison.
According to the prosecution body, from the investigations carried out, it was proven, thanks to the footage recorded by the security cameras of the prison, that the defendant Xheladin Kruja hit the citizen Keleves Muja in the neck with a pipe modified as a knife.
This attack happened just as Muja was returning to his cell after meeting with his family members.
