Fix Fare / Theft of the deceased, the nurse accuses the director of the morgue

With sound and image, the investigative show proved that an oxygen device, which costs a full 5 thousand euros, disappeared in the morgue. Relatives of the deceased who died from Covid 19 blamed the Morgue staff, after a report issued by them stated that the device had gone, but on the same sheet it was not noted that it was handed over to family members. Fiksi talked to employees of the “Shefqet Ndroqi” Hospital, the Tirana Morgue, but also the funeral service.

The head of the Morgue, Azem Lamaj confirmed to the journalists of “Fiks Fare” that the camera had gone to the morgue, but did not know where it had gone ?! He was the person who had made the exit notes, while the admission notes were of nurse Katrina Pepkolaj.

The show’s reporters continued the investigation, trying to talk to the morgue staff. After a few weeks, Fiksi interviewed nurse Katrina Pepkolaj. She said that she was the person responsible for receiving the body and the equipment, exactly what she recorded in the minutes. “I am very honest, the camera has arrived.

I took it with my body and put the camera at the feet of the corpse. The body and equipment were accompanied by a nurse, she and I informed, ”she claims. He further adds that the work is in shifts. “I work from 2 to 8 in the morning. I am leaving around 07.30 on September 1, 2020.

We have 24 hours on Saturdays and Sundays. On weekdays it replaces us with responsibility. I left that camera in the morgue. After me came the person in question (Azem Lamaj). The one who has written his name in the minutes “says the nurse, repeating that” I have written it in the minutes that I received “.

She directly blames the person responsible for the omission. “Well, is that report that I made read ?! Shouldn’t the minutes be read to me? ” she continues, while pointing out that the person in charge should have taken her directly on the phone as to why this device is not in the morgue. “I had gone for 5 minutes and I had gone to the chief and the camera was found. I was not confirmed at all, only when I saw myself on TV “continues Katrina.

Journalists ask her what could have happened to this oxygen machine, while she claims that “I do not know, the cameras should have been opened”. “I am the one who received it and not the one who handed it over. I know I accepted it. I left the camera in the morgue. I am not an investigator and a morgue guard. “I take responsibility as long as I have been at work,” she says. Finally, when asked if other people enter the Morgue, he tells us that “they come and go, they come and go”. But, all the premises have cameras, from the police to the gate to the room where the corpses are.

After this claim, the journalists of “Fiks Fare” went to the morgue again, asking for an explanation from Azem Lamaj. The employees informed him, even the reason, but Mr. Lamaj refused to meet with him or give an interview. He told staff that “he made his claims.” In fact, in the conversation that the boss had with the journalists of “Fiks Fare”, Lamaj claims that he handed over what he saw. “I have neither seen nor handed over the camera,” he said. But where did this camera go ?! The nurse says he took her to the room. The boss has not seen it! Who stole it?
