Father of 3 children missing for 4 days, family: He went out for a bite of bread

Edison Oruqi has been missing for 4 days without a trace. The father of three children was working on the Shala River when he lost contact with his family.

His colleague, Skënder Pepkolaj, and family state that Oruqi was last seen working in a hostel.

"It is suspected that he fell into the water. Marjani left him in a swamp and called Skënder to pick him up. But when the latter went, he couldn't find him and called the police," says Edison's uncle, Xhevahir Oruqi.

His wife, Valmira Oruqi, said that Edison went out for a bite to eat.

"I went to the police, but they didn't give me any information, I want justice until the end. Otherwise, I will take justice myself. He is the father of three children, he came out for a piece of bread ," says Edison's wife, Valmira Oruqi.

Skënder Pepkolaj says that Edison was taken by the owner's brother to load construction materials and told him he would return him the next day. After they completed the job, he told him that he had left the worker on a small sand island.

"On Friday, the owner's brother who hired us to repair the guesthouse, called us for dinner. We went with Edison. On Saturday, he told me to leave, while he would keep Edison for work. I waited until Saturday dinner and he didn't bring Edison to me. On Sunday, at 2:20 PM, I received a message from the owner of the house, saying that he had left Edison on the sand. I went out, got a boat, went to the sand and found no one. I left him on Saturday and I haven't seen him since. Where he says the owner left him, you can't go through, not even those who know the area can go through, not us who don't know it. We searched in the river and in the mountains until dinner and we didn't find him," says worker Skënder Peplokaj.

It was Pepkolaj himself who filed a police report regarding Edison's disappearance.
