TIRANA, Jan. 28 – The Durres district court on Tuesday sentenced Shaban Norja, 81, to 25 years imprisonment for the murder of the 18-year old Aishe Vata.
The murderer earned a lower of the sentence from life imprisonment to 25 years because he acknowledged that he had committed the crime.
In October last year Norja killed Vata and then cut her head and hid it. He claimed that Vata herself had asked for that after she had learnt she was pregnant. 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.
