A police officer was found deceased this morning in the cemetery located in the village of Morinë, Kukës. According to preliminary reports issued by the State Police, the 35-year-old male was discovered at approximately 08:25 hours. The deceased was identified as a resident of Prizren who was employed as a police officer with the Rapid Response Unit in Prizren.
Initial investigations suggest that the officer passed away due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound sustained from a pistol. The weapon utilized in the incident has been secured as material evidence by authorities. A specialized investigative group, operating under the direction of the Prosecutor’s Office, has been assigned to the case to fully determine the precise circumstances surrounding the incident.
Furthermore, the State Police have confirmed that they are collaborating closely with the Kosovo Police. This cooperation is focused on two primary objectives: first, to verify whether the seized firearm matches the service weapon issued to the officer, and second, to secure the broader investigative details related to the discovery. Authorities have established a detailed investigative process to address the circumstances under which the police officer was found.
The focus remains on a thorough and objective clarification of the events that occurred at the site.
