Kosovo Albanian Ibrahim Shkupolli, murdered 5 people then killed himself on Years Eve 2009 in Espoo, Finland.
The New Years Eve mass murder in the finish city of Espoo, Finland was carried out by an Albanian illegal immigrant from Kosovo called Ibrahim Shkupolli.
There are rumours that Shkupolli was a KLA/UCK veteran wanted in Serbia for the massacre of Serbian civilians in Kosovo.
Is there anything in the Serbian media to confirm this link?
[Update 1: B92 is only reporting that Shkupolli is a Kosovo Albanian. Nothing about his alledged KLA links.]
[Update 2: According to AFP – “Shkupolli was born in Kosovska Mitrovica in northern Kosovo. Initial inquiries appeared to indicate that he did not have a criminal record in Serbia, according to Serbian Interior Ministry’s spokeswoman Suzana Vasiljevic.”

“There are rumours that Shkupolli was a KLA/UCK veteran”
If you look at the writer of these rumours, you can easily see that the nickname is a spammer at least in this subject. Anyway Shkupolli has been living in Finland since 1990, so it’s not very likely that he’s been in Kosovo killing people in 1997. He had something to do with narkotika crime at some point, so there might be a connection with KLA/UCK there, but I’d say that it is unlikely.
Looks like that rumour was rubbish, most likely started by anti-Albanian elements looking to capitalise on Shkupolli’s nationality.
At least they have stopped reporting these people as “Yugoslavian”.
