The information portal "gazeta-shqip.com" has published today (September 12) the article titled "SERIOUS! Policeman kills wife and then himself".
A fact-check conducted by hibrid.info confirms that the title does not clarify in which country the event occurred.
After clicking the article link, the news is then clarified in the content section, where it is stated that "A serious event has occurred in Thessaloniki."
From this sentence of the article it is understood that we are dealing with an event that occurred in the city of Thessaloniki, Greece.
Knowing that the address of the information portal in the “PERSONAL DATA” section appears to be in Tirana (see here), this means that not specifying the place where the news occurred leaves room for misinformation that it is about an event that occurred in Albania.

Reasoning:
The “Clickbait” rating is given to texts whose titles have no basis in the content of the following text. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the reader or even the consumer with a sensational title by promising content that does not actually exist and are created mainly out of financial interest, that is, due to increased readability. So, this type of text is intended only to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
