Tomasz Waga murder: Fifth man charged

Tomasz Waga was found murdered in Cardiff in January 2021

DETECTIVES investigating the death of Tomasz Waga in Penylan, Cardiff, have charged a fifth man in connection with his murder.

Hysland Aliaj, 31, was arrested in Germany and extradited earlier this month in a successful, joint operation involving the South Wales Police Major Crime Investigation Team and other UK and German law enforcement agencies.

Aliaj is remanded in custody following an appearance at Cardiff Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, June 8 and is due to appear at Cardiff Crown Court on Friday, July 22 charged with murder, causing grievous bodily harm, and conspiracy to produce cannabis.

Tomasz’ family have been updated.

Detective Superintendent Mark O’Shea, from South Wales Police, said: “While this is yet another significant development in the investigation, we are still very keen to establish the whereabouts of two Albanian nationals.

“I’d appeal to the Albanian community in the UK and abroad to assist us in finding Elidon Elezi and  Artan Palluci who are wanted on suspicion of murder. There is a £10k Crimestoppers reward for information leading to their arrest.

“International borders are no barrier to us pursuing people suspected of murder in the UK.

“Recent arrests have proved that we have excellent links with law enforcement colleagues across Europe including Germany and Albania.”
