The crime that took place in Kosmet in 1975, and somehow remained unsolved, has now been discovered by the police officer who led the investigation.
“I cannot say for sure, but I believe that the Albanians of Gornji Streoc, villages on the Peja – Decani road, Redza Ahmetaj and Kura Mehtaj, young men who killed Branka Djukic in Chakor in 1975, after having tried to rape her earlier, were they gave up out of shame and shame, “are the words spoken by Veselin Simonović, a retired police officer, who replaced Metohija’s flat in 1999 with Šumadija.
Her story is a missing “stone” in the mosaic about the tragedy of Branka Đukić, a nineteen-year-old girl.
The surrender took place on September 5, three days after the Chakor crime.
“Enraged, they invited me to the home of the criminal Rex Ahmetaj. His father took him out of the room, after coffee and a short conversation. Rexho, who was eighteen at the time, explained what he had done with his partner and accomplice Mehtaj. He also said where the gun was. so they killed the beautiful Branka. “
And so the police solved one of the first monstrous crimes of the Albanians, exactly 45 years ago.
On September 2, 1975, two Albanians who were keeping sheep saw a student, Branka Đukić from the village of Meteha, waiting for a bus to Peć in Čakor, near a tavern. They assumed that the beautiful girl would return home after doing her job in the city. They ambushed her on the way through the forest, to “embarrass” her.
“She was not raped,” says Veselin. “On the contrary, they were beaten and scratched and for this reason Kur Mehtaj shot him in the head.”
Branko’s body was found by Rade’s father, because he went looking for her in the early morning of September 3. He found his beloved dead, her skirts torn, lying on the forest path.
Following the arrest of the criminals, at the final word of the trial in Bijelo Polje, Rade Đukić entered with a pistol. While waiting for the judges to report the verdict, he approached the accused and shot Kur Mehtaj twice. In the head and the heart. Reggio escaped, throwing himself at the feet of the police.
WORK AND GUN
No one knows how Branka’s father brought the gun into the courtroom, Simonović says.
– I’ve never mentioned the possibility of revenge to anyone before. He approached the assassins calmly and aimed confidently. He didn’t want to hurt anyone else. He was sentenced before the same court to eight years, despite the fact that a petition was drawn up behind which were tens of thousands of people of all nationalities in the former RFSY, with the request for his release.
Rade was sentenced to eight years, but served about half of his sentence. He returned to Chakor and did not speak much to anyone. In the stream, a few hundred meters from where his son was killed, he dug a huge stone. he carved it for days and months. Then, he dragged the monument from the stream up the mountains to the place where his daughter was killed. He left it there, and it’s still there today, “says Simonović.
Remember well how he arrested the criminals. He received information about the killers from Tafa Ljokaj, who was a local Decani politician at the time.
“There were several of us at the table in Rej Ahmetaj’s house. His father was desperate, the women only brought coffee and water. He begged us not to hit his son. And I made him ‘angry’.”
Veselin further says that there were no problems in Bacija, the place where the murderer was hiding. He left, he says, alone in a police car, and the killer opened the door as soon as he heard the car on the mountain. Then Simonović went to the place where the gun was. The killer, Kur Mehtaj, said that he did not want to kill the girl.
“I have not spoken so far for Tafa Ljokaj’s family,” says this retired police inspector.
“Ljokaj died a long time ago, and I recently heard that his son passed away, so there is no longer a danger that his compatriots in Metohija will take revenge on them. These Albanians in Kosovo today are no longer of our time when it was known that the face and honor have no nation and faith. “
Simonović says with disgust that in the 1990s a huge monument (the only one of its size in Metohija) suddenly appeared in the Gornji Streoci cemetery, at the place where Branka Đukić’s murderer was buried, where it was written that Kur Mehtaj was a “victim of Serbian terror”.
“These young people committed a terrible crime, but their loved ones remained honest in the eyes of Serbs and Albanians at that time. This is not a moment of honesty today. Albanians know it. Some of them are calling me on the phone today. Many are ashamed of today. And Branka, deserves a street and a monument in central Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro … A monument to shame the present “, concludes the inspector.
The relics of the unfortunate were transferred
Branka’s relics were transferred from Metekh to Spuž on August 25, 1991, at the will of his family. Her monument is engraved with:
“At Chakor High, she was greeted by bloodthirsty people, who will not go with them, the revolvers decided. She did not finish high school, but gave her head to the cheek. The fairy became a legend and gained eternal fame. The father de Rade avenged him, made him chivalrous. An eternal reminder of his human greatness. “
The fate of a high school girl
Branka Đukić was born in 1956 in the village of Meteh, on the Čakor mountain. She finished three grades of high school in Berane with great success, and then she wanted to change schools because Peja was closer to her. In the early hours of the morning, on September 2, 1975, she boarded a bus into town at the Drim, carrying documents for the school she was supposed to go to on September 5, 1975.
