New details from the Roskovec tragedy, funerals for the two victims to be held on Saturday

The severe tragedy that shook the village of Vidhisht in Roskovec this Friday took on even more painful dimensions, as the number of victims reached three. In a live connection for the show “Review” with Greta Topjana, journalist Laureta Roshi provided detailed information from the scene.

According to her, on Saturday at 10:00 a.m., the farewell ceremony for spouses Kosta and Belere Plaku will be held. Meanwhile, authorities have yet to decide at what time the funeral rites for the perpetrator of the serious crime will take place.

Laureta Roshi related that she had the opportunity to speak with the parents of Refit Buzi, who are facing deep shock. Both elderly parents, according to the journalist, learned the macabre news only after police officers arrived near their home around 7:50 in the morning.

“I went to the perpetrator’s residence and had a conversation with his parents, who were completely emotionally devastated. They stated that the event had come as an unexpected shock to them, as they learned it from law enforcement. The father, who suffers from heart disease, together with the mother said that their son had not eaten for two days and had left the house in the early hours of the morning,” the journalist declared.

The parents of the 35-year-old also explained that Refit Buzi was serving the security measure of “house arrest,” as he was suspected of violating a protection order. According to their testimony, the young man had repeatedly raised his voice to demand that his former partner return a sum of money.

After being freed from the hostage situation, Rozalinda Plaku initially received medical treatment at the hospital and was later taken to the premises of the Police Directorate to give her account of the event, the journalist reported.

The intervention of the RENEA special forces to persuade the perpetrator to surrender lasted several hours, but the efforts proved futile, as the 35-year-old ended his life with the firearm he was carrying.

At the end of the broadcast, journalist Roshi raised concerns regarding how conflicts within families are managed and the effectiveness of protection orders. “It is essential that in such cases, an evaluating psychologist is involved at the moment the order is issued. It is possible that an earlier intervention could have prevented this tragedy. Criminal behaviors rarely arise spontaneously; they are usually the result of a series of factors and conditions,” she emphasized.

We recall the chronology of the tragic Friday: Refit Buzi, 35, entered the home of his former partner, Rozalinda Plaku, and shot her parents with a hunting rifle. Kosta Plaku, 58, died on the spot, while Belere Plaku lost her life in the evening at the hospital due to the injuries sustained. Then, the suspected perpetrator took his own life inside his car, after a prolonged siege and negotiation attempts by RENEA forces.
