British Harriet Bridgeman was an important part of the surveillance group in the murder of Ardian Nikulaj last April.
The only image of her to date is the one captured by the security cameras of the Coral Hotel owned by the victim. For the first time, exclusively, Top Channel brings this photo of what Harriet Bridgeman, accused of involvement in the murder, looks like today.
This photo was taken just a few minutes after the London court decided that she, along with two other Britons and the Albanian Edmond Haxhia, should be extradited to Albania, a decision that their lawyers will appeal.
Immediately after the decision Bridgeman, very tense, went down the steps of the court to light a cigarette and make a phone call. And while the judge Daniel Sternberg read the decision, she burst into tears and was then hugged by her relatives. She will continue to be free on bail pending the conclusion of the appeal.
The journalist of Top Channel, Muhamed Veliu, has learned new details about how she and other Britons used Ardian Nukulai's hospitality against him.
The night before the murder, she and two other Britons were dining at the Coral restaurant and took out her credit card to pay. But the card didn't work. At that moment, Ardiani tells the waiter that there is no problem and that he would pay for his dinner.
Bridgeman approached and thanked Ardian, who was dining with his wife a few feet away. Also, they asked for his help in calling a taxi to go and visit Lezha, the taxi which was paid for by Ardian.
"He wanted us tourists in our hotel to feel better," says one of the victim's family members, emphasizing that they rewarded him for treating him as friends by contributing to the information of the killer Ruben Saraiva.
Likewise, during her stay in Shengjin, Harriet Bridgeman tried to befriend and engage in conversation with Ardian Nikulajn.
According to court documents seen by Top Channel, she is the mother of a sick child and also suffers from mental health illness herself. The child's illness and hers, the lawyers used to block the extradition. As for her condition, two doctors were also brought to the court as independent experts.
Their reports and testimony in court did not convince Judge Daniel Sternberg, who allowed her extradition to Albania.
