Matilda Braho, a journalist with the program “Review,” reported from Ndërfushaz in Mirditë, where 65-year-old Viktor Bardhi was killed in an organized assassination. Residents told her that the victim was devoted to his family and described the circumstances near the scene of the incident.

Bardhi was on his way to work at the water utility and, after traveling about one kilometer from his home, was attacked at one of the locations he visited every day to supply the village with drinking water.

The Mercedes-Benz in which the 65-year-old was traveling was struck by a hail of bullets. Bardhi died at the scene, while his body was found by local residents, who immediately notified the police.

Residents’ accounts

One of the neighbors said she had seen Viktor driving past at around 08:00. According to her, just three minutes later, a blue vehicle traveled in the same direction.

“Viktor drove past at eight o’clock. Exactly three minutes later, the blue car that was following him also passed by. I saw them on my home security cameras. First, we heard a gunshot and then a burst of gunfire,” the resident recounted.

She said it was her son who notified the police after finding the 65-year-old dead. The victim’s neighbor described Bardhi as a family man and a hard worker.

“He was a family man and worked to provide for his family. We are terrified. Three murders have occurred in a short period of time,” she said.

Another resident said Bardhi went to that area every day to turn on the drinking water supply.

“He came every day to turn on the water. We greeted each other today, but if I had known it was the last time, I would not have let him go,” the resident said.

He expressed concern about safety in that part of the area, describing the underpass as a dangerous place suitable for setting up ambushes.

“This underpass poses a major danger. Even before Viktor’s murder, we had said it could be used as an ambush site. The perpetrators knew where he was going, followed him and then ambushed him, leaving him dead at the scene,” he said.

Bardhi po shkonte në punë në ujësjellës dhe, pasi kishte përshkuar rreth një kilometër nga banesa, u sulmua në një prej pikave ku shkonte çdo ditë për të furnizuar fshatin me ujë të pijshëm.

Automjeti “Mercedes-Benz” me të cilin udhëtonte 65-vjeçari u qëllua me breshëri plumbash. Bardhi humbi jetën në vend, ndërsa trupin e tij e gjetën banorët e zonës, të cilët lajmëruan menjëherë policinë.

Dëshmitë e banorëve

Një prej fqinjeve tregon se e kishte parë Viktorin duke kaluar me makinë rreth orës 08:00. Sipas saj, vetëm tre minuta më vonë, në të njëjtin drejtim kaloi edhe një automjet blu.

“Viktori kaloi me makinë në orën tetë. Pas saktësisht tre minutash kaloi edhe makina blu, e cila e ndiqte. I pashë në kamerat e sigurisë së shtëpisë. Fillimisht dëgjuam një krismë dhe më pas breshërinë”, rrëfen banorja.

Ajo thotë se ishte djali i saj ai që njoftoi policinë, pasi e gjeti 65-vjeçarin të pajetë. Fqinje e viktimës e përshkruan Bardhin si një person familjar dhe punëtor.

“Ishte njeri i familjes dhe punonte për të siguruar familjen e tij. Jemi tmerruar. Brenda një kohe të shkurtër kanë ndodhur tre vrasje”, shprehet ajo.

Një tjetër banor tregon se Bardhi shkonte përditë në atë zonë për të hapur furnizimin me ujë të pijshëm.

“Ai vinte çdo ditë për të lëshuar ujin. Sot u përshëndetëm, por nëse do ta dija se ishte hera e fundit, nuk do ta lija të shkonte”, thotë banori.

Ai shpreh shqetësimin për sigurinë në atë pjesë të zonës, duke e cilësuar nënkalimin si një vend të rrezikshëm dhe të përshtatshëm për organizimin e pritave.

“Ky nënkalim paraqet rrezik të madh. Edhe para vrasjes së Viktorit kemi thënë se mund të përdorej si vend prite. Autorët e dinin se ku do të shkonte, e kanë ndjekur dhe më pas i kanë zënë pritë, duke e lënë të vdekur në vend”, deklaron ai.

The murder of Viktor Bardhi, also known as Marku, in Ndërfushas, Mirdita, remains without any identified suspects, while the investigative team is working to reconstruct the perpetrators’ movements before and after the execution.

One of the main challenges facing the investigation is the terrain where the crime occurred. Security cameras are reportedly installed at the entrance to the village of Ndërfushas, but a review of the footage found no vehicles moving through the area around the time the murder is believed to have taken place.

For this reason, investigators suspect that the perpetrators may have used the underpass beneath the “Rruga e Kombit” highway to flee the scene.

Another possibility under consideration is that they crossed on foot beyond the road’s safety barriers, which are located only a few meters from where the ambush is believed to have been set up.

A review of security camera footage at the entry and exit points of Rrëshen has also so far failed to provide any trace of the vehicle suspected of having been used by the perpetrators.

The burned-out vehicle found in the Munaz area was discovered around 20 minutes after the 65-year-old’s relatives reported finding him dead.

However, no weapons or other evidence directly linking the vehicle to the execution were found inside it.

This has raised further suspicions among investigators, who have not ruled out the possibility that the burned-out vehicle was not the one used by the perpetrators to commit the crime.

This may have been a strategy used by the perpetrators to cover their tracks and steer the investigation in the wrong direction.

Investigators also suspect that the killers may have been assisted by other people, who could have been waiting for them in another vehicle after the murder and helped them leave the area.

The investigation continues in an effort to identify the perpetrators, determine how the assassination was organized, and identify those who may have helped them flee the scene.

This morning, 65-year-old Viktor Bardhi was killed in a shooting in Ndërfushas, Mirdita. According to preliminary information, Bardhi was found dead in his car, while the perpetrators are suspected of fleeing the scene in a vehicle that was later found burned.

Viktor Bardhi was the brother of Martin Bardhi, who was killed in Rrëshen in 2023. Martin Bardhi’s killing was followed by a series of serious criminal incidents in the Mirdita area and was linked to suspicions of longstanding conflicts and revenge.

This history is one of the leads investigators are expected to examine in connection with today’s attack on Viktor Bardhi.

However, authorities have not yet officially confirmed the motive for the killing.

Following the shooting, police launched an operation to identify and apprehend the perpetrators.

The investigation is continuing to fully clarify the circumstances of the incident.

Who was Martin Bardhi?

Martin Bardhi was known to the Albanian justice authorities, as he was one of the people who attempted to kill Saimir Reçi, the nephew of Kastriot Reçi, who had also previously been killed.

The conflict between Enrik Bardhi, Martin Bardhi’s son, and Saimir Reçi began after one overtook the other on the city’s main road, an incident that was also accompanied by gunfire.

Saimir Reçi and Enrik Bardhi got out of their vehicles and became involved in a physical altercation in the middle of the city.

Enrik Bardhi then went home and, together with his father, Martin Bardhi, took a handgun and fired at the vehicle in which the nephew of Kastriot Reçi was traveling. Kastriot Reçi, the owner of a local television station in Lezhë, was killed by a sniper in Rrëshen in January 2021.
