Murder of 51-year-old in Durres Family: Claiming attempted rape is a lie

The owner of the club where the 51-year-old worked said they had no relationship as a worker and owner but were like brothers.

He was my brother, a quiet, smiling worker. This news has come as a bomb. Even now that I speak, we can't believe it. It feels like a dream.

We had not noticed any of his concerns. He has had a brother - to - brother relationship with me. The author has made serious accusations, but we leave it to justice, to do his job, and not to bring reproach. She's got a great wife and kids like that. He was a man devoted to his family. I delivered my kids to him.

I have many moments with Valbon. It's not true when it comes to his divorce”, the owner of the bar said.

Another citizen, a friend of 51-year-old, said he knew him for years and had not noticed Beqiri's unusual behaviour during this time.

“Valboon was a good guy, a worker, with bad talk about Valbon, killing God. He served for 10 years in that bar. I've known him for 10 years. It's nothing real. He was a great guy to me. I haven't noticed any unusual behavior. It's a lie. Valbon will remain in our minds”, 51-year-old friend said.

Another elderly man said that Valbon Beqiri has never had conflicts with people or clients at the bar where he worked.

I've been coming to Durres for the last 10 years. I've been drinking coffee at the bar where he worked. He was always smiling and the service was perfectly, everybody was doing well and he wasn't talking to anyone. When we heard about it, we saw the bar closed, called the phone, couldn't answer me, and I was surprised. At dinner I know he was killed. We felt sorry for him, and we were amazed that he was a regular family member. There was no one better. We don't even know the author. He was not divorced”, Valbon Beqiri's acquaintance said./Periscopi/
