About a week after the serious event that happened in Povelçë of Fier on October 12, where Ilir Nukaj barbarically assaulted an elderly married couple, owners of a small shop, why they didn't give him beer, the 80-year-old died in the hospital.
Namik Rustemi could not survive his injuries and was intubated since last weekend. He had been punched and kicked in the head and body. His 77-year-old wife also received injuries, but not life-threatening.
The police arrested Nukaj immediately after the crime and he is in custody.
Wife A. Rustemi returned home after treatment. She told the Police the dynamics of the crime and who the aggressor was. The prosecution investigates Nukaj with the criminal offense of "intentional serious injury" and the Court has given the measure of "imprisonment".
Specialists for the Investigation of Serious Crimes arrested the 47-year-old suspect, who is suspected to have been extremely drunk at the time of the attack. He asked for beer in the store, but the elderly refused precisely because of his drunken state. Nukaj, who also bore the name Ledjan, did not receive him well, beating them both barbarically.
He was known as a problematic person in the area, as the residents and the daughter-in-law of the elderly confessed after the event the dynamics and the shock suffered by this event.
Nukaj was sentenced to 10 years in prison for an attempted murder that occurred 12 years ago in this area, when he seriously injured a local owner with a knife, whom he had stolen before and the victim had denounced him. Also, OFL had investigated and verified the property in 2020.
