Refit Buzi threatens to kill himself, police expand security perimeter – efforts for surrender continue

The Director of Fier Police, Erion Ahmeti, has shared the latest information about the tense situation with the suspect in the serious incident, who remains isolated by law enforcement forces.

According to him, the individual is continuing to resist and has warned that he may harm himself.

“The suspect continues to resist and has told us: ‘Don’t come near me or I will end my life,’” Ahmeti informed reporters.

He specified that in efforts to persuade him to surrender, family members have not been called, while the police have set up an expanded perimeter to control his movements and avoid escalation.

“We have established a wide perimeter to isolate his position,” Ahmeti added, highlighting that the surrender negotiations are being led by specialized police units.

Refit Buzi, 35, is accused of executing his former father-in-law, leaving his former mother-in-law injured, and then violently abducting his ex-wife.

The main investigative lead focuses on the disputes that arose after the couple’s separation. Initial data suggests that the 35-year-old did not accept the separation requested by his former spouse, which is suspected to have contributed to the situation turning into a tragedy.

At the same time, investigators are also examining a second lead, which relates to family relationships and claims of property issues among those involved.

It is reported that Buzi previously lived in Britain and it is believed he sent financial support to his daughter.

As the operation to arrest the 35-year-old continues, authorities are investigating whether these conflicts played a role in the serious crime; the perpetrator had left the scene after the attack.

The crime occurred in the early hours of the day in Vidhisht, Roskovec, where Kosta Plaka lost his life and his wife, Belere Plaka, was injured. The author’s ex-spouse is believed to have been taken by force and disappeared from the scene.
