At this stage, the facts are not enough to make a comprehensive assessment of what happened, but from what we know, it is a serious criminal anomaly of a closed society. In addition to Petrohan, a similar tragedy could even happen in the capital's "Mladost" district.
This was said in the show "Face to Face" on bTV by the DSB leader, MP from "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" General Atanas Atanasov in connection with the "Petrohan" case, in which a total of six people were found dead with gunshot wounds to the heads near the hut of the same name and in a camper in the area of Okolchitsa Peak.
It is probably a case of murder and suicide. But all the facts and evidence must be clarified, there is still a lot of work to be done. Representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor's Office participated in the briefing today, but I ask where the Secretary General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is – he must coordinate all the structures in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. A representative of the National Security Agency was also absent, and it turned out that there were signals to the National Security Agency on the case and inspections were suspended, said Atanasov, who is also the former director of the National Security Service.
At this stage, there is not enough information on the case, but to reach a situation in which a human life is at stake is a distorted mentality, he added.
I will take action to hold a closed session of the relevant committees in parliament and to have the Secretary General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and a representative of the National Security Agency come to this session, the DSB leader announced.
The information is half-baked, the truth will come out when the expert reports come out. Based on the smears, it will become clear who handled the weapons, who fired. The criminal part of the matter will become clear, the question is what are the reasons for the ritual suicide. As they say, sometimes the road to hell is paved with very good intentions, Atanas Atanasov pointed out.
The facts must be clarified in detail and this should not be done only by the police. The mechanism is a hearing in the relevant committees in parliament, in order to clarify all the facts and be useful to the state. It will not be very easy, because the main witnesses are not among the living. The main circumstances must be clarified, what are the reasons that led to this terrible criminal saga, he also said.
