This newspaper photograph shows Avni Rustemi at a Paris police station after the killing of Esat Pasha Toptani on 13 June 1920.
The original French caption identifies the scene as “Son meurtrier: Avni-Rustem – hier, au commissariat” (His killer: Avni-Rustem – yesterday, at the police station). The caption reflects the newspaper’s contemporary description of the photograph.
