A brutal crime that occurred in Northern Epirus (south Albania) specifically in the area of Dropoli, where an elderly couple was found dead.

According to Albanian media reports, 84-year-old Kostas Ilias and his 88-year-old wife, Kleoniki, were found dead in their home.

Information indicates that the 88-year-old was found dead inside the house, while the 84-year-old was found in the courtyard.

The bodies of the two elderly members of the indigenous ethic Greek minority of Albania, according to initial information from Albanian media, showed signs of severe beating.

What concerns the Albanian authorities is the fact that neither the house of the elderly couple was found to be violated nor was the area disturbed, indications that leave open the possibility that the crime may have been committed by someone known or related to the couple or that the crime had other motives, given the bad record of Albania on minority rights.
