The serious tragedy that occurred in the waters of the Buna River in Shkodra, where a mother with three children drowned because her husband, Erdgys Arrazi, exercised psychological and physical violence, has been concluded with 4 years of imprisonment.
The event that occurred on May 3, 2024, which shocked the country when the police found the mother and 3 children drowned in the river, now has only one responsible author and that is the head of the family, Erdgys Arrazi.
Shkodra Judge Orgent Nazaj found Arraz guilty and sentenced him to 6 years in prison on the charge of "Causing suicide." However, due to the summary trial, this sentence was reduced by 2 years, ultimately sentencing Arraz to 4 years in prison.
The judge found evidence that the defendant Arrazi exercised physical and psychological violence against his wife, Alma Arrazi, causing the latter to experience a state of anxiety and depression, which led the family members to commit suicide in the waters of the Buna River.
It all started because Erdgys Arrazi had created an extramarital affair, and he was putting pressure on his wife to leave their apartment in Shkodra.
Time and again, Ergys Arrazi took Alma's clothes out into the yard and burned them in front of her, as a sign of psychological pressure to leave the apartment.
At the same time, Judge Nazaj decided to accept the prosecution's request to dismiss the charge of "Murder under qualifying circumstances" against Erdgys Arraz, arguing that no convincing evidence was found to prove this criminal offense. Alma Arraz's sister, Gentjana Z., told investigators in the case that during the time she was in conflict with her husband, Alma Arraz would go to her apartment to calm down.
