Albanian Triple Killer Was Granted Asylum in Britain While on the Run
17th May 2026
An Albanian triple murderer who was granted asylum and citizenship in the UK while he was on the run has been apprehended in the US.
Sokol Hoxha, 50, fled mainland Europe for Britain after killing his 19-year-old wife in 1997 in Belgium and murdering two brothers in Albania in the same year.
He came to Britain using a false identity, fraudulently claiming that he was a Kosovan refugee, which allowed him to claim asylum and ultimately British citizenship.
