The Fier Prosecutor's Office has completed the investigations and sent Azgan Mernica, the perpetrator of the murder of state police officer Novruz Cenalia, to trial. The perpetrator is charged with 3 charges: "Murder of State Police officers", "Unauthorized possession and production of weapons, explosive weapons and ammunition" and "Irregular driving".
The incident occurred on May 13th of a year ago at around 1:30 PM, in the village of Baltëz in Fier, when Azgan Mernica shot and killed police officer Novruz Cenalia.
The conflict between the victim and the defendant arose because Mernica, while driving his vehicle, entered a curve at high speed, without checking the road, posing a danger to road users.
The victim drew the defendant's attention to this action, which is why the defendant stopped his vehicle, got out of it with the bag containing the firearm, and while walking towards the victim, who had not exited his vehicle, he took out the pistol-type firearm he was carrying and shot the victim NC in the face, causing his instant death.
