Stabbed his wife, the 46- year old man surrenders to police

Aleko Myrtollari, the 46-year-old man who injured his wife Manjola Myrtollari, surrendered to the police yesterday evening after several days on the run. The incident happened on Sunday evening.

After the crime, the author escaped while his wife was urgently transported to Tirana in critical condition. Journalist Roland Beqiraj reports that Aleko Myrtollari has been hiding in several apartments of his relatives in the villages of Korça until yesterday evening when he surrendered to the police.

It was Myrtollari’s relatives who convinced the 46-year-old author to surrender to the police.

Jealousy is suspected to have been the cause of this incident. It was the 16-year-old girl who found her mother bleeding and notified the police. It is said that the couple had been quarreling for a long time and that the 46-year-old consumed alcohol. They lived in Tirana but returned to Korça a month ago./abcnews.al
