Mother and daughter, Zhaneta Josifi, 56, and Anisa Josifi, 33, were found dead by police at their home in Kombinat, Tirana. The family's other daughter, Blerta, 30, is in hospital in critical condition. Police were alerted by the 56-year-old's brother, who had been trying to contact his sister for days but did not answer the phone and did not open the door.
It is worth noting that there is still no official version of the serious incident, but from the preliminary data of the police and journalists in the field (via BalkanWeb), it turns out that they sacrificed themselves by stopping food. Neighbors told reporters that they were often deliberately left without food.
The director of the Tirana Police, Rebani Jaupaj, stated (via Lapsi.al) that "no signs of violence were found on the bodies of the victims". "It simply came to our notice then. We are collecting all the material evidence in the premises of the apartment. We have found various records with religious content, "he said. According to Jaupaj, the girls were educated and graduated.
Family members have told the media that they have visited the victims' home in recent days, but have not met Anisa.
Meanwhile, journalist Dorjana Bezat reported for News24 that it is thought that the 33-year-old woman lost her life five months ago, since she has not contacted any family members since then. According to her, it is thought that her mother and sister painted her body with a solution to protect her from decomposition and covered her with a deck.
From the preliminary data, it is reported that they were believers of a religious sect (a small group of believers with a special dogma, who have been separated from a large religious community or who are distinguished within it). However, the mention of the religious sect arët Jehovah's Witnesses. Is unclear and leaves room for discussion, because no matter how it may be rumored on the media, on social media, or despite abuse, Jehovah's Witnesses do not preach death / self-sacrifice to be resurrected.
