According to local media, the woman was killed because her father-in-law was against her marriage to his son, because she had been married before.

The murdered woman is 30-year-old Merushe Azizi, a mother of three from her first marriage.

This is the fourth murder of a woman in Albania since the beginning of this year.

More than 50 per cent of women in Albania have been subjected to domestic violence at least once.

Albanian lawmakers are urging authorities to step up efforts to ensure the country's security.
