"The car broke down on the road, 6 officers walked towards the station", details from the operation where the policeman was killed

Journalist Igli Çelmeta revealed further details about the serious incident that occurred today in Korça, where 43-year-old Violand Braçellari is suspected of killing police officer Enea Mekolli and injuring his colleague Edison Adri.

The journalist reports that there were 14 police officers activated for the operation, but the "blue" vehicle broke down along the way due to the difficult terrain, and 6 "Eagles" officers went on foot towards the tent where the wanted man was hiding.

The journalist says that Braçellari opened fire on another occasion towards the police, but the first time without causing any damage to people.

" A police vehicle broke down on the way, due to the difficult terrain, and some of the officers remained on the road, while the rest, 6 officers of the 'Eagle' forces, went on foot towards the camp where 43-year-old Violand Braçellari was hiding. This was a known terrain for the State Police, as this person had been wanted since 2016. For 10 years he had escaped the police and police operations. In a police operation years ago, he again shot at the police, although there was no human damage. He was a highly dangerous person even in the village. Yesterday there was a trial at the Korça Court, where he was indicted for raping a fellow villager ," journalist Çelmeta told A2CNN.
