One year after the murder of 44-year-old Pjetër Kola in Pukë, the police arrested the suspected perpetrator of the incident.
He is Maltin Gjini, 37 years old, also known as Anton Gjini, a resident of the village of Kalivaç in Lezha, who was arrested by the crime investigation agents of the Shkodra Police.
The 37-year-old was ordered to be detained in prison in absentia by the Court of Puka. He is accused of intentional homicide, possession of weapons without a permit and production and sale of narcotics.
Maltin Gjini is accused of killing Pjeter Kola with a gun on September 27, 2022 due to disagreements between him and the victim, who are suspected of being collaborators in the cultivation of narcotic plants.
The perpetrator and the victim met to clarify, but everything went wrong and the 37-year-old pulled out a gun and shot him.
Pjeter Kola was initially injured and was taken by his brother to the Vau i Deja health center where he received first aid, and then was transported to Shkodra Hospital. But he died there due to his injuries.
