She had not agreed to stop the pregnancy. The old man and the teenager had an affair which their families were not aware of. The crime was committed in Xhafzotaj commune in Durres district.
“I do not know how I committed that crime. Only God ad me know how much I have repented,” he said at the court.
The murderer was wearing a bullet proof vest during all the sessions of the trial. His family members have totally neglected him and have not been present at all.
