The individual suspected of the murder of 20-year-old Joan Zhuko in Korçë has been apprehended by authorities. According to preliminary reports, police successfully located and arrested Kristjan Sterjo near his residence following an intensive search operation that covered the city and surrounding regions. The investigation required the deployment of heightened security measures, involving specialized units from RENEA.
These forces conducted systematic checks after receiving intelligence that the suspect intended to return to his home. The operation was complex, as initial efforts to locate him at his residence were unsuccessful, prompting the use of photographic identification to track his movements. Crucially, during the operation, authorities recovered the weapon used in the commission of the murder.
The suspect himself directed the police to the location where the implement was discarded, an area identified as “fusha e druve.” The recovery of the weapon provides significant physical evidence related to the incident. The successful capture marks a key development in the investigation into the death of the former soldier. The authorities confirmed that the suspect’s actions and the recovery of the weapon are central to understanding the circumstances surrounding the crime.
The police continue to process the evidence gathered from the arrest and the scene to determine the full sequence of events.
