Three police officers of the Kavaja Police Stations were arrested on Saturday for the death of 31-year-old Ilvi Meta

Meta reportedly used shoelaces to hang himself inside an isolation cell.

According to an official police release, the 31-year-old man was detained on April 3 following a court ruling to send him to prison for theft.

The Albanian Helsinki Committee (AHC) published a report on Friday saying the suicide of the 31-year-old at Kavaja Police Station could have been prevented.

AHC emphasized in its report that a supervising officer had submitted a report by the end of his shift, where he had warned that the young man could be suicidal.

Despite that, no medical examinations were carried out, resulting in a breach of the actual criminal code.

“The note was signed by P.B before leaving his shift, as well as by G.H, the police officer that took over the shift as supervisor”, reads the report.
