December 22, 2020The mystery of the murder of Shpetim Pasho, 54, and his wife Teuta, 52, is still dense, whose bodies torn to pieces and hidden in four suitcases were found by chance in recent days in a nearby field of the rear perimeter fence of the Florentine prison of Sollicciano, along the embankment of the Florence-Pisa-Livorno freeway.
But this morning there was a first and perhaps decisive turning point: Elona Kalesha, 36, Albanian like the two victims, was arrested on charges of murder, concealment and vilification of the corpses.
At the time of the facts that are contested, the woman was the companion of Taulant Pasho, 33, son of the two Albanian spouses who, according to the results of the autopsy examination, were killed with a stab in the throat and beaten to death and suffocated her.
The arrest, ordered by the prosecutor Ornella Galeotti "for danger of escape", was carried out at dawn today by the carabinieri of the provincial command of Florence in an apartment in via Felice Fontana, in the Florentine quarter of Novoli, where the woman currently lives.
The arrested woman was alone in the house at the time of the execution of the order.
The apartment was seized.
Same measure for the garage of the house in via del Pantano, near the Sollicciano prison, where the suspect lived with Taulant Pasho.
Shpetim Pasho and his wife Teuta, who had arrived in Tuscany to visit their daughters Dorina and Victoria and to meet their son who was about to finish a drug sentence, were lost on November 2, 2015, the day in which Taulant was released from the prison of Florence.
Since then, the 33-year-old has been arrested again for drugs, when 6 kilos of marijuana were found in the garage in via del Pantano in June 2016, escaped from house arrest in October 2016, and only a few days ago Italian investigators learned that he is currently in jail in Switzerland on charges of burglary and trespassing.
The 36-year-old, questioned by prosecutor Galeotti before being taken to the Sollicciano prison, availed herself of the right not to answer.
The woman's lawyer, the lawyer Federico Febbo, said that her client was "shocked" by the arrest order against her, stressed that the woman had expressed "her willingness to be heard by the investigators to give a contribution "to the investigations but" has never been called ", and added that" for the moment the fact is attributed to the lady, but I imagine that the hypothesis is of concurrence with other subjects ".
In fact, the investigators would be convinced that Elona did not act alone but that she had one or more accomplices.
As for the motive for the crime, among the hypotheses remains the trail of the missing 40 thousand euros, a sum that Shpetim Pasho would have had with him.
In recent days, investigators have examined all the acquaintances of the two spouses and their family members.
Among the points of the mystery still to be clarified, in addition to the motive and the presence of any accomplices of the suspect, the date and place where the double murder was consummated, how and when the four suitcases ended up in the ground where they happened to be been found.
As for the place, it could be the apartment seized today in via Felice Fontana, where the two Albanian spouses may have been hosted pending the release of their son.
For investigators, the double murder dates back to the same day the two disappeared.
As to how the suitcases ended up in the ground near the prison, the most accredited hypothesis is that they were thrown, not earlier than a year ago, from the open body of a heavy vehicle passing along the freeway, and this operation could not be been completed by one person.
Why the four suitcases were thrown or abandoned precisely at that point, where the risk of being discovered is high due to the presence of prison surveillance cameras and prison police patrols, is a further mystery to unravel.
