Adriana Zogu is the wife of the late Arben Zogu, who died as a result of drowning in Banja lake on June 21 of this year.
Among the victims were her 2 sons, one 19 and the other only 14 years old, as well as her grandson, Melsi Zogu , 20 years old.
She has decided to break the silence after the tragedy that plagued her family, speaking on tch .
She said that the father and the sons had gone swimming as the lake was a safe place, but the fact that works had been carried out on the territory of the lake and deep pits had been dug was fatal.
The residents were not informed about this and there were no signs around the area announcing that there was danger.
" I live in the village of Cingar i Poshthem. The place where they drowned is 20 minutes away from our village. Previously, children went to school there and it was a safe place, when the hydropower plant was built, they closed the school.
They knew the place very well. But they did not know that deep excavations had been made. Below the water was the school yard and they knew it well. They followed the stretch of asphalt they knew.
The 4 of them ran away together, the husband, two sons and grandson. Many people used to go there to bathe. Even today, people continue to bathe. They did not know how to swim and only went to a part that was shallow. But there were pits there, it is not known who worked there, they were like wells, very deep. No warning was given that there are dangers, there are potholes.
My family was destroyed for a table. If we knew, who is that parent who would endanger the children. My family died for a table.
I, as a wife, did not know yet that my family had disappeared. I hoped that the husband knew how to swim and the eldest son would be alive.
I was saying that Jori has run away from me, the other two will come. When they told me then that they wanted money to take the bodies a second time ," said Zogu.
