The brother of Massimo De Santis, the Italian who was stabbed 21 times by Taulant Lamaj, said that there was no relationship between his brother and the Albanian’s wife.

“It had nothing to do with my brother at all! Not even in the bar when she came with her friends to have breakfast, after taking the children to school, they haven’t been seen! Massimo was still asleep, because he did everything in the bar, from the pastry chef to the counter,’ said Gianluca De Santis, the brother of the murdered 50-year-old.

Gianluca rules out any kind of connection between his brother and 39-year-old Tefta, adding that they had a good neighbor with the Taulanti’s family, they greeted and respected each other and they never had any arguments.

“Massimo lived in that building for 43 years with our mother, who is now 80 years old and widow! Relations with that family, were excellent, normal relations between neighbors, they greeted and respected each other. Even with Taulanti, he saw him and greeted him, never had a fight “, remembers Gianluca.

Taulant Lamaj killed by stabbing Massimo De Santis 21 times, as he suspected that there was an affair between him and his wife Tefta. After killing the Italian, Lamaj returned to his apartment, where he stabbed his 16-year-old daughter to death, and also stabbed his wife, who is still in the hospital.
