Suicide could have been prevented / Helsinki Committee finds evidence that police predicted the event

Helsinki committee inspectors can communicate with two of the three police officers arrested. Their report states that during the verification, near the security rooms of this Commissariat, there were also police officers arrested for this event, with two of whom the observers of the Helsinki Albanian Committee managed to communicate.

One of the employees who had been present at the physical examination of the deceased, stated that no ties were found on the deceased, and that the T-shirt he was wearing did not have a hood. The other employee, in charge of the security rooms, told observers that he was not on shift at the time the incident occurred.

This fact was further verified by observers, looking at the book of service delivery of security room officers, by the police officer with initials BP, on 04. May at 19:00. It is noteworthy that in this book it is noted as a message to the person who would receive in the next shift, that special attention should be paid to the arrested Ilvi Meta, as the latter could attempt suicide.

The note in this book was signed by the police officer with the initials BP, who has been leaving the shift, as well as by the head of the security rooms. Helsinki observers report that this note is inconsistent with the note that the doctor made in the medical examination book, marking 18:00 on May 4, as the time of ascertaining the dead body of the deceased.

This discrepancy makes unclear the moment when the employees have ascertained the event but does not prevent in our assessment the further investigation by the prosecution responsible for uncovering the event. But in the meantime Helsinki observers have also found irregularities in the conditions of the detention room. According to them, in the security railings there should be no bars parallel to the ground over 60 meters high, while in the rooms of the Kavaja police station there are bars two meters high.
