Cousins Valter Mollaj and Edlir Mollaj and their shepherd Bledi Angjon are the 3 arrested as suspects for the murder of 26-year-old Martin Çeço, an event that took place in the village of Kolanec in Maliqi in June 2022.
They were arrested after the testimony of Tina Pajollari, who was initially considered the "apple of the quarrel" that led to the murder of Martin Çeço.
According to the first investigations of the police and the prosecutor's office, it was said that Tina Pajollari had an intimate relationship with Valter Mollaj and because Martini had wanted to have a relationship with Tina, the crime had happened afterwards.
This variant is supported today by Tina Pajollari, who gave a second interview for the show Uniko from Spartak Koka.
In this interview, she says why she accused the 3 mentioned above for the murder of Martin Çeço and why she declared to the police in her first testimony that she had an intimate relationship with Valter Mollaj.
Tina Pajollari: They interrogated me, I stayed all night, I was saying that no, I didn't speak, I didn't know at all. We cried in the morning, no, we are not going to go to the police, no, they were calling me, threatening me.
Spartak Koka: What were they calling you?
Tina Pajollari: The police called me, they told me to show that you know, you have spoken, we will take you to prison if you don't. The hair holds you, either tell or go to jail.
Spartak Koka: Why should you go to prison?
Tina Pajollari: I was afraid and I said out of fear for the 3 authors who are there.
Spartak Koka: What did you say about the authors?
Tina Pajollari: Unë thashë për Bledi Angjo të parin që ka qenë ai, ka folur ai me telefonin tim dhe i ka thënë që Martinin e ka kërcënuar që mos i bjer…Më panë telefonin, më thanë çfarë e ke Edlir Mollajn, Emiljan Mollajn, po më pyesnin për të tëra ngaqë kisha folur në Facebook. Po unë këtyre ju çoja lopët. Dhe Edlir Mollaj më kishte shkruar më kishte thënë për lopët. Ndërsa këto po më thonin që mos vallë ke bashkëpunuar me këta dhe keni shkuar keni vrarë Martinin bashkë. Dhe unë nga frika e pranova. Thashë unë po. Thashë që ai e ka vrarë, Edlir Mollaj dhe Valter Mollaj.
Spartak Koka: Me kë pranove që kishe lidhje dashurie? Me Valterin? Edlirin?
Tina Pajollari: Po, për Valterin.
Spartak Koka: Po pse nuk zgjodhe dikë tjetër por zgjodhe Valterin?
Tina Pajollari: Për çfarë?
Spartak Koka: Për të pranuar që ke pasur lidhje dashurie?
Tina Pajollari: Yes, I was mentioned a lot about Vali there and I accepted it.
Spartak Koka: But why did you mention Bledi Angjon first?
Tina Pajollari: He came to me in those moments and I said about Bledi Angjon. Then as they saw my phone and I said about Edlir Mollaj and then about Valter. They were asking me where Bledi Angjo works, I told them Valter Mollaj is a shepherd.
