Palestinian citizen Fati Alwan, accused of killing his daughter 2 months ago in Albania, has been arrested in Lebanon, A2 CNN reports.
"Following the in-depth investigations carried out by the structures of the Tirana Local Police Directorate, and as a result of continuous communication with the homologous structures in Lebanon, through Interpol Tirana and Interpol Beirut, the Palestinian citizen, FA, 49 years old, was arrested in Lebanon, with the aim of extradition to Albania. The First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction of Tirana has assigned this citizen the security measure "Arrest in prison", for the criminal offense "Murder due to family relations". From the investigations so far, it is suspected that citizen FA, in February 2025, in an apartment on "Gjon Muzaka" Street, Tirana, killed his daughter, citizen RA, with a cutting instrument. Cooperation between Interpol structures continues, to finalize the procedure for the extradition of this citizen to Albania", the police said.
On Tuesday, the body of 24-year-old Rayan Alwan was removed from the morgue by her family's lawyer, sent to our country by the 24-year-old's mother, and was then sent to Lebanon.
The Palestinian girl was found murdered in a rented apartment in the capital in February of this year.
Initially, it was suspected that the perpetrator was her cohabitant, 25 years older than her. However, later, information provided by Albanian police from their counterparts revealed that the 24-year-old was killed by her father, who is now an international fugitive.
The motives for this macabre crime continue to remain a mystery to the investigative group. Meanwhile, Albanian authorities, a few days after the incident, asked their counterparts in Germany to ask the family to withdraw the young woman's body from the morgue, but according to them, no one had shown any interest in this matter.
Fati and Rayyan Alwan arrived in Albania on February 19th and in Rinas the 49-year-old introduced himself as having come to Tirana as a tourist with his partner.
The tickets to come to our country were booked a few hours before the trip and as soon as they set foot on Albanian soil, they headed to the apartment they had rented on “Gjon Muzaka” Street. The first night they slept on the first floor of the 3-story apartment, and then, claiming that they did not like the room, on the 20th they stayed on the third floor of the villa, where the macabre crime also occurred.
