The arrested man is suspected of hiding the vehicle used by the perpetrators after the execution of the spouses Kreshnik and Gentiana Mujeci.
A 40-year-old man wanted in connection with the double murder that occurred in April of this year in Balldren, Lezha, has been arrested in Montenegro and deported to Albania.
According to the State Police, the suspect has been identified as Besnik Kolndreu. He is accused of supporting the perpetrators of the crime, as he is suspected of having hidden the vehicle used by the perpetrators after the execution of the spouses Kreshnik and Gentiana Mujeci.
"Thanks to the information provided by the State Police on the location of a citizen declared wanted, as well as the real-time exchange of information with the Montenegrin police authorities, the Montenegrin Police located and arrested in Ulcinj a citizen wanted in connection with the incident that occurred on 26.04.2026, in the village of Balldren.
Immediately after his capture, the citizen was deported to the Muriqan Border Crossing Point, where he was handed over to the Albanian Border Police services and then escorted by the services of the Lezha Local Police Directorate.
Following the actions carried out by specialists for the Investigation of Crimes Against the Person at the Lezha Police Department, citizen BK, 40 years old, resident of the village of Torovicë, was detained for the criminal offense of "Supporting the perpetrator of a crime", committed in collaboration.
This citizen was declared wanted pursuant to the decision of the Lezha Court, which had assigned him the security measure "Arrest in prison", as part of the investigations into the incident that occurred on 26.04.2026, in the village of Balldren, where citizens KM and GM, spouses, were killed with firearms.
The investigative actions carried out have resulted in the citizen BK being suspected of having assisted the perpetrators of this incident by hiding in his apartment the vehicle used by them after committing the crime. The vehicle was found and seized by the Police services during the checks carried out as part of the investigations.
"The procedural materials were referred to the Prosecutor's Office at the First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction of Lezha, for further procedural actions," the Police wrote.
How the assassination with two victims happened:
A married couple, parents of four children, were executed with a Kalashnikov rifle on the afternoon of April 26 in Balldren, Lezha. The victims are Kreshnik Mujeci, 39, and his wife Gentiana Mujeci, 32.
Ata po udhëtonin me një automjet tip “Audi Q7” kur u qëlluan nga një distancë shumë e afërt. Mbi 30 plumba depërtuan në derën dhe xhamin e përparmë të mjetit. Dy autorë të pamaskuar hapën zjarr dhe më pas zbritën nga një automjet “Volkswagen Golf” pa targa, duke qëlluar sërish drejt çiftit përpara se të largoheshin pa nxitim. Dyshohet se shënjestra ishte Kreshnik Mujeci, por plumbat nuk kursyen as bashkëshorten e tij.
Ngjarja ndodhi rreth orës 14:50 në rrugën Balldren–Torrovicë, në një zonë të banuar dhe të monitoruar nga kamera sigurie. Pamjet tregojnë se pak para atentatit një automjet tjetër uli shpejtësinë dhe u fut në një rrugicë, duke detyruar edhe mjetin e viktimave të ngadalësonte. Në këto momente ndodhi sulmi. Dy automjetet e dyshuara u gjetën të braktisura disa ditë më vonë.
Hetimet çuan në identifikimin e tre personave si autorë të dyshuar, mes tyre edhe djali i një personi për vrasjen e të cilit Kreshnik Mujeci ishte akuzuar më herët. Pista kryesore mbetet hakmarrja.
Ngjarja lidhet me një vrasje të ndodhur më 6 tetor 2016 në Mali të Jushit, ku u vra Genc Mhillaj. Sipas dosjes, viktima u ndalua në rrugë nga një automjet, prej të cilit zbritën dy persona të armatosur. Pasi tentoi të largohej, ai u qëllua për vdekje nga një distancë e afërt. Pranë vendit të ngjarjes u gjet një furgon “Mercedes-Benz” në emër të Kreshnik Mujecit dhe një armë zjarri.
Për këtë krim u akuzuan kushërinjtë Jozef dhe Kreshnik Mujeci, pas dyshimeve të ngritura edhe për shkak të një konflikti të mëparshëm mes viktimës dhe Jozef Mujecit për motive të dobëta, konkretisht një shkëmbim automjetesh. Hetuesit kontrolluan banesën e babait të Jozef Mujecit, ku gjetën një automjet “Audi A3”. Edhe pse familjarët pretenduan se nuk ishte përdorur prej ditësh, nga verifikimet rezultoi se pjesë të tij ishin të ngrohta.
Jozef Mujeci u lokalizua dhe arrestua pas përgjimeve telefonike dhe gjurmimit të qelizës. Një dëshmitar okular deklaroi fillimisht se kishte parë dy persona, një të maskuar me armë dhe një të pamaskuar me shkop, duke sugjeruar më vonë se ky i fundit mund të ishte Jozef Mujeci. Bazuar në këto prova dhe përgjime ambientale, prokuroria ngriti akuza për “vrasje me paramendim” dhe “armëmbajtje pa leje”. Kreshnik Mujeci u arrestua rreth një vit më pas.
Megjithatë, rreth dy vite pas ngjarjes, Gjykata e Shkodrës i shpalli të pafajshëm të dy. Sipas vendimit, provat e paraqitura nuk ishin të mjaftueshme për të provuar fajësinë. Gjykata vlerësoi se konflikti i mëparshëm ishte vetëm një indicie e dobët dhe nuk provonte autorësinë. Po ashtu, pretendimi se mjeti “Audi” ishte përdorur nga Jozef Mujeci u konsiderua deduksion, pasi ekspertiza e gjurmëve të gishtërinjve nuk gjeti shenja të tij, por të personave të tjerë të paidentifikuar.
The court concluded that the investigation had not been thorough and had focused only on finding evidence against Jozef Mujec, instead of identifying the real perpetrators. The main witness was also dismissed at trial, after the witness stated that he had failed to identify the perpetrators and that everything had happened in a few seconds and from a distance. According to the court, the mention of Mujec's name in the investigation may have been the result of suggestion.
An element in favor of Jozef Mujec was his alibi, supported by environmental wiretaps and telephone records, according to which he was in Koplik on the day of the incident, far from the scene of the crime.
As for Kreshnik Mujeci, the court assessed that the only evidence against him was the fact that his car was found parked several kilometers from the scene of the crime, which did not constitute sufficient evidence of guilt.
On November 27, 2018, the Shkodra Court declared the complete innocence of both. The Shkodra Court of Appeal upheld this decision, rejecting the prosecution's appeal due to procedural deficiencies, as the appeal did not contain grounds and did not respect the legal form.
The case was then reviewed by the Supreme Court, which found problems in the way the appeal was handled in the Appeal Court, deciding to overturn the decision and return the case for retrial. The decision was issued in October 2024 and the file is currently pending in the General Jurisdiction Appeal Court.
Meanwhile, Adriano Mhillaj, 22 years old, Florin Mhillaj, 36 years old, and Renato Mhillaj, 23 years old, the latter the son of the 2016 victim, have been declared wanted for the double execution in Balldren.
As long as there is a verdict of not guilty against Jozef Mujeci and the late Kreshnik Mujeci, for Albanian justice the 2016 murder remains unsolved.
