Marjan Kodheli, who stabbed his father, Pjetër Kodheli, to death, appeared before the Durrës Court this Saturday for a security measure. He appeared smiling in the glass cage, even though he had taken his father's life.
During the closed-door hearing, the 25-year-old explained the moment of the incident: “I stabbed him and left. Then I was also hit with an iron bar.” He said that he had had constant conflicts with his father, especially after his grandmother’s death, when he had asked him to be careful with the money. “I told him I’m here. He grabbed me by the throat,” said Marjan Kodheli, adding: “I’m not the attacker, but the attacked.”
His lawyer requested a psychiatric examination to determine the mental state of the 25-year-old, who had lived as an immigrant abroad in recent years.
