Selenica's monster, Vlora court decides 'imprisonment with no time limit' for Zykaj

Ritvan Zykaj entered Vlora Court in handcuffs today amid the curses from citizens and relatives, expressing their anger over the Selenica massacre during which eight victims lost their lives.


With a cold stare, his right eye blackened, Zykaj looked confused though without any sign of repentance. 


The so-called Monster of Selenica was attending in order to hear the decision the court would hand down in regards to security measures against him. 


The 24-year-old wore a white shirt, different from the black one he appeared in in the photo published by the police after the arrest. 


Ritvan Zykaj did not even glimpse at the cameras, as the journalists asked why he took the lives of 8 people, including 2 children. 


No answer to the question was given, just as no family member attended the session. The young man's relatives, two days ago, abandoned their village in the wake of such a tragedy. 


The hearing was scheduled to begin at 11am but the lawyer appointed to defend the 24-year-old, Gentian Leka, refused to appear and as such the hearing was postponed.


The extent of the tragedy has caused a total of 15 lawyers to refuse to assist in his defense, the court forced the appointment of lawyer Dritan Mehmeti in order to resume the session at around 1pm.


The decision of the panel was just as expected, imprisonment with no time limit. 


He has been charged with the criminal offense of 'murder in qualifying circumstances against 2 or more persons'. 24-year-old, Ritvan Zykaj, will long remain in the memory of all Albanians, for the horrific crime that caused the death of eight people.
