In the late hours of yesterday evening, the meeting for "clarification" between the three cousins has degraded into the use of firearms near a cement factory in Mamurras. It all happened after a conflict for property reasons. Fatos Sela together with his brothers were carrying out works for the fencing of a piece of land, which is claimed to be the property of their cousins. After being informed about the works that were being carried out on the ground, at the scene of the incident, his relatives were joined by the Traffic Police officer, Sahit Ahmetaj (Sela). The latter initially argued with his cousins. Then, the argument between them worsened and the officer took out his service weapon and shot, injuring two of his relatives, Fatos and Adrian Sela. But it seems that the officer was not the only one who had a firearm with him, as his relatives also shot him, also injuring the police officer. / VOICE
