CondannatoSommario
A 33-year-old woman was strangled at her home in Sofia in 2021. The investigation established that her husband killed her, and that his father helped to conceal the crime by transporting the body in a suitcase and dumping it in a tailings pond near Pernik. After she disappeared, her husband said publicly that she had gone to the gym and took part in the search for her. At first instance both men were sentenced to life imprisonment, the court accepting the prosecution's case that the killing was fully intentional and planned in advance, and ordering substantial damages to the victim's family. The proceedings at that instance concluded in under eleven months. On appeal the Sofia Appellate Court reduced the husband's sentence from life imprisonment to 20 years and acquitted his father entirely. The Supreme Court of Cassation heard the case on 24 September 2026. The day before the hearing, relatives and friends of the victim demonstrated outside the courthouse, calling for the case to be sent back for reconsideration. The exact date of the killing is not stated by any of the cited sources, which give only the year.
