TIRANA, August 27 – The end of the thriller with the double murder that happened on the Greek island of Aegina and that shocked all of Greece in 2015 seems to be very close, as the 36-year-old Albanian, Ledjon Brakaj detained in Malta after 7 years on the run was announced by the Greek press to be the author of the tragedy.
The 36-year-old Albanian has already been fingerprinted during a court session and is awaiting the full implementation of the arrest warrant issued by Greece, which also provides for his extradition to Athens.
The double crime in Aegina in 2015 resembled a horror movie with Brakaj allegedly burning alive in her apartment its former owner, 70-year-old Irini Marmarinou, and her 44-year-old nephew, Lambros Protonotarios to rob 780,000 euros.
The terrible crime happened on November 30, 2015 when the 36-year-old man and his accomplices entered the old woman’s house after breaking the window. Then they beat the old woman and their nephew to show them that they were hiding 800,000 euros and when they lost consciousness from the many blows they took them to a room, covering them with clothes to burn them alive.
The bodies were found burnt by firefighters when they managed to put out the fire. The Greek media reported that the DNA of the suspected perpetrator was found on a hat in the house where the crime took place and helped the Attica Police to solve the double crime.
Meanwhile, in an article dated August 22, of the Greek media To Vima shed light on the entire saga of the macabre event and important evidence has come to light about how the Albanian state, according to the above daily, prevented DNA testing a few years ago that could have revealed the truth earlier.
