Elvis and Gjon Shkambi were left in prison/ Lawyer: Murder occurred due to

The court hearing in the case of Elvis Shkambi, who shot and killed Judge Astrit Kalaja, his uncle Gjon Shkambi, and the guard of the Court of Appeals, concludes. All three people were left in prison.

Lawyer Kujtim Ibraj said that his client committed the crime in a state of shock after the verdict was handed down. The lawyer stated that he carried the weapon because he worked in several institutions.

Regarding Gjon Shkambi, he said that there is no evidence that he was an instigator of self-justification.

As for the court guard, he said that he had taken leave because he suffers from diabetes, but he was not replaced on shift and this health problem has caused problems with his eyesight.

" The moment the decision was given, he was deeply shocked and shot at the judge.

The citizen under investigation was completely unconscious and waited for police forces after regaining consciousness to hand over the weapon.

There is no evidence that Gjon Shlkambi was the instigator, there was no knowledge, but no one came forward with the gun because the nephew was shocked. Elvis Shkambi shot as the judge was leaving the courtroom.

If there were any inciting actions, the investigation and prosecution for intimidation should have started then and not now.

For the sake of truth, he has been carrying a weapon for several years, the reason will be explained later. This family has suffered a lot due to the civil case and has a lot of debts. The shock was caused by the decision. Elvis Shkambi has worked in several security institutions, which is why he has weapons. We have not requested an internal health examination, but we will.

Koxhaj had diabetes and was told he could be moved by the court chancellor, but he was not replaced on the shift. Diabetes reduces visibility.

There are no proceedings and they claim that justice has not done its job.

He publicly apologized to the court for Judge Astrit Kalaja and the two injured.

I don't know about Go FoundMe, we shouldn't create myths because murder is intolerable because a judge cannot be killed in the line of duty.

"But even the postponement is excessive, there should be no delays because it is alarming. In criminal cases there is more transparency," the lawyer declared./ CNA
