The two alleged killers of Ragip Kolgeci, 52, a construction contractor, must remain in prison because socially dangerousie they could pollute the evidence. These are the reasons that led the investigating judge Carlo Isidoro Colombo to keep the Kosovars Valmir Gashi, 32, and his uncle Afrim Manxhuka, 51, in prison in Santa Bona since the day after the murder of his compatriot in Viale IV. November at Fiera, at the end of what seemed like a real settling of scores between two opposing groups. In the background a debt of 500 euros that the victim’s son boasted against Afrim Manxhuka and an open question about an old Albanian code of honor.
Both Gashi and Manxhuka, accused of aggravated brawl and willful murder, during the validation hearing in prison they had made use of the right not to answer, but they had reiterated, in the course of a spontaneous declaration, their extraneousness to the accusations. Gashi, in particular, immediately claimed to have arrived when the fight was about to end and the victim was already on the ground bleeding, while Uncle Manxhuka denied having dealt the fatal blows with a bar to the victim’s head as some claim. eyewitnesses of the opposing faction.
According to the police reconstruction, for three days between Manxhuka and the Kolgeci relations had stiffened precisely because of the debt of 500 euros that the former had contracted with the victim’s son. A debt accrued as part of joint work on a construction site which it seems that Manxhuka was unwilling to pay. And it is here, according to what the police officers have reconstructed, an old family feud would have taken place, which matured between the family of Manxhuka and that of the victim, with the first having to kill Kolgeci based on the principles of Kanun. When asked to have the 500 euros back, Manxhuka would have revived the old feud by inviting Kolgeci to formally apologize. But the refusal opposed by the latter triggered the appointment on Wednesday evening, around 22, in front of the La Musa bar in Fiera which had the flavor of a real showdown between the two opposing groups of Kosovars, one twenty in all, and left Kolgeci’s lifeless body on the asphalt.
