According to the prime minister, the man claimed that he was in a bar with his son-in-law and returned alone on a motorcycle to his father-in-law’s house, where his companion was. He also said that later the brother-in-law came with his wife’s brother, took a pistol and shot him in the shoulder.

By pointing out the son-in-law’s car to the police, the police were able to go to the car and check the story. The alleged perpetrator of the shooting, his companion, the couple’s daughter, the alleged victim’s companion and the couple’s son were in the car.

The brother-in-law explained to the police that the story told by the victims was different. According to him, in fact, they were in a bar and returned together on a motorcycle to his father-in-law’s house. However, on the way they were shot in the shoulder and buttocks, but could not determine where the shots had come from.

He also said that the alleged victim threatened his companion with death and that she was ready to leave, and he would shelter her at home. The police confirmed the version with a woman and witnesses in her father-in-law’s house.

The two men were taken to the hospital for an operation to remove the projectiles and a report was filed with the police.
