“Daily Mail”: Albanian convicted of killing a woman twice illegally entered Britain

British table “Daily Mail” has dedicated a writing during Albanian history to Edmond Kalmi. He was arrested and sentenced after threatening a woman's traffic incident with a copycat pistol. But the British picture says that Albanian has been convicted of a murder in Albania and has entered Britain twice illegally.

Edmond Calmi, 50, led a copyable firearm to a British woman on a street in the small mining town of Ferndal in Wales before he said: “What if I hit you, you idiot? He was imprisoned for 18 months for the incident in October 2022, while at his 2023 sentencing hearing, he was told that there was no permission to stay in the United Kingdom.

But the reality is even more shocking. The first justice documents by the State Ministry reveal Kalmi was a recurrent violent wrongdoer who was previously convicted of murder in Albania. The terrible 1998 event occurred when he and another man entered a family home and shot a woman to death while she was carrying her 1-year-old son. Calmi and his friend had had a fight in a bar with the victim's husband.

The killer fled to Britain after the shooting, only to be sentenced in 2007 for a stab. After being extradited to Albania and serving his murder sentence, he managed to reenter the United Kingdom for the second time and settle with his wife and daughter.

The extradition procedures in 2008 revealed that Calmi had sought asylum in the United Kingdom using false information under the name of Martin Buzi. Court records indicate that Calmi fled to Britain one day after the shooting on September 12, 1998. Two years later, he was convicted in absentia and sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Kalmmi continued his criminal life in the United Kingdom, and in March 2007 he was sentenced to two years in prison at the Court of the Crown in Harrow after being convicted of deliberate injuries and clashes over an attempt to strike a winner.

The extradition proceedings that were delayed due to the trial began again when he was in prison, and in March 2008 a judge at the Westminster Magic Court gave the go-ahead for Calmi being sent back to Albania for a retrial.

The killer appealed for several reasons, including Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights ? who advocates the right to a family life, but this was rejected by the Supreme Court and was finally extradited in July 2009.

In November 2012, after his retrial in Albania, three judges handed down a ruling supporting his murder sentence. In the retrial, it was heard that Calmi had drunk at a bar in the village of Perondi in Berat with his friend Dritan Vila when they argued with a man named Hamit Baci and started beating each other with bottles of beer.

Bacci came out of the bar and went home. Later, gunshots were heard near the house, and his wife, Ariana Bac, was found dead on the floor near her year - old son, whom she had previously held in her arms. Her husband was also at home with his mother, but both were saved.

One witness said he saw Kalm and Willa armed with Kalashnikov. They later fled across the border with Greece before Kalmi smuggled into the United Kingdom.

Despite receiving a new eight-year prison sentence that would begin in 2009, when he was extradited Kalmi seems to have been released from prison just six months after his sentence. The Albanian entered Britain illegally for the second time and settled with his British wife and daughter at Pontywardd in Rhondda.

On October 21, 2022, he was driving through the nearby town of Ferndal when he left a sideway in front of a driver whose mother was in the passenger seat. After a row ended with Kalmin, who threatened the driver with a false gun before she left.

In his subsequent trial, the Court of the Crown Mertophy Tydfil heard that the victim remained shocked and frightened by the incident. The police were summoned, but Calmi had managed to hide or destroy the weapon. This has never been found, although the officers found gas canisters and kindreds with spheres. Kalm was found guilty of possession of a mock fire, with the intent to cause fear of violence.

Giving the sentence, Judge Duncan Bould said: “this was an extremely threatening gesture reinforced by the production of a firearm with realistic vision in order for [the victim] to believe illegal violence against it would have been used, that it would be shot closely. I convinced your victim and the others that it was a real weapon. You kept that thing with you, predicting you'd be able to use it. You claimed to have used a mobile phone, but you didn't explain that explanation, and the jury turned it down”.

Kalm was sentenced to 18 months in prison in October 2023 before being released at the immigration evacuation centre in Colnbrook in December. Robert Bates, director of Research at the Centre for Migration Control, said: “This man is a serious threat whose presence in Britain is unregulated. The fact that he was expelled from our country but managed to cross again is the perfect study of how turbulent our borders are. Politicians are disappointing the public by allowing the most unpleasant and brutal in the world to treat our streets as their playground. We have to become much tougher and make sure that every convicted stranger never has a chance to re-enter Britain. ”

The Interior Ministry refused to say whether he would be deported and when. A spokesman said: “is our early policy not to comment on individual cases, but when foreign citizens commit serious crimes in our country, we will always do everything in our power to deport them. This government deported almost 5,200 violators of foreign citizens in its first year in office, a 14% increase compared to last year, and we will continue to do everything we can to get these evil criminals off our streets.” /Daily Mail, LAPSI.al/ Periscopi/
