The murder of Martin Bardhi in Rrëshen, accompanied by some members of the Reçi tribe

Several people have been escorted to the police to be interrogated regarding the murder that happened yesterday in Rrëshen, where Martin Bardhi was executed and three other people were injured.

Several members of the Reçi tribe were accompanied to the Lezha police station, among them Saimir Reçi, who also had a conflict in March of this year.

The investigative group does not rule out that this conflict is related to the execution of the previous day.

How did the event happen?

Bardhi was in his bar in the center of Rrëshen, in the presence of some friends and relatives, when two masked people got out of a Jeep type vehicle and approached the target, at which they fired a volley of shots. .

The bullets caused the immediate death of Bardhi, while the other 3 people were injured. They were sent to the Trauma hospital in Tirana, for specialized medical assistance.

The black "Jeep Cherokee" type vehicle, for which we are verifying who it belongs to and whether it has been reported stolen, was completely burned.

Martin Bardhi or Marku, is a person known to the authorities, as in March of this year, together with his son and grandson, they were involved in a conflict with firearms at the exit of the city of Rrëshen.

The 59-year-old was arrested and, according to information, he was released under still unclear circumstances some time ago, while his son and grandson were being sought.
