Here is who disguised the two policemen

Six people under pressure. Mystery over the motives Flyer a Bouche is not lighting in Tirana TIRANA - The persons involved in the killing of the two policemen, carried out on 11 June on the highway near Rinas, have been identified. Strong security measures are being taken against some of them. While the police have directed the investigation along several lines, suspecting that the reason for the killing of the Rinas policemen may have been robbery-related, and also in support of the hypothesis that the event may have been a revenge killing, police have questioned several relatives of the victims as well as people who know the circumstances of the incident. Another line of investigation is linked to the activity of the brothers Nazim and Sokol Gjikëshi, who emigrated to Greece and have not returned so far. According to information provided by the police, the two massacred men, Adhurim and Pëllumb Zylyftari, may have been killed by mistake instead of their cousins, who also live in the Fushë-Kruja area. The reason? One of the cousins has been involved in trafficking, while the other has been carrying weapons without a permit, which makes a revenge killing plausible. It is testified that the person they were seen with on Mount Dajti. A man with a boy. A moustached man and a man around 30 years old were seen only a few minutes before the murder. TIRANA - As soon as he got out of the police vehicle, the handcuffed man grabbed his face with both hands and tried to hide his identity. A policeman stood beside him. Throughout the time he behaved aggressively. When asked what his name was, he was taken to the police station to clarify the serious incident of Wednesday. In this case he tried to move away from the crowd of people, but was prevented from doing so. Just one day after the murder of the police officers, on the boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, near the presidency, police yesterday caught the man suspected of organizing the kidnapping and murder of the two law-enforcement officers. The man in question, according to the police, is the 30-year-old from Fushë-Kruja, known by the name Shaban. He refused to speak. In the presence of journalists and citizens he covered his face with his hands, while the police escorted him by force. Police sources said that five other people are also being questioned, suspected of having links to the incident.
