His bride accused him of rape, confessed to his father-in-law: That's the truth!

Edward Stafa talking about “Panorama” denies any claim of it, calling it an excuse to conceal the extramarital relationship she had with a married man.

He says that he has never considered himself his son's daughter - in - law but that he had his own daughter.

I have three sons. I have no daughter. And I've always seen Elda treated like I had my daughter. I never thought to see her with another eye, let alone sexually molest her as she claims. We loved her like our daughter, she wanted to poison my wife”, says 19-year-old father-in-law.

Edward Stafa insists that the bride had an affair with a married man who was originally from her native village in Debar.

In fact, according to him, it was also because we had discovered it and feared to tell the boy”.

Further, he tells how his 19-year-old son married, a arranged marriage, and without the girl's will.

The two young men were married six months earlier, while shortly after the wedding, his son, Doland Stafa, had gone to Greece to work, convinced by the bride's father.

The 19-year-old father-in-law insists that she had a boyfriend, even to communicate with him, used his cell phone because she herself didn't have a phone.

My cell phone's in charge of the police. There's all the messages she's exchanged with boyfriend”, he says.
