I am pleased that in the last week I refused at least 15 invitations from television and radio stations to comment on the shooting in Petrokhan. Although from the very first moment I was convinced that Ivaylo Kalushev shot the people in the hut and will be found dead with the other two young men. There were enough facts in favor of this hypothesis. A forensic psychiatrist from Pleven explained everything simply and clearly on the 4th day of the incident. But his version was not attractive to the audience. I don't remember such hysteria and excitement, and I've been a crime reporter for 31 years.
This is what investigative journalist Slavi Angelov posted on his Facebook page after the information that the bodies of Ivaylo Kalushev and the other two young men were found in a camper near Vratsa. Here is more from his comment:
Many people think that everyone in Bulgaria knows about football. Big mistake! They are all top criminalists. And top profilers. Check out their versions - from Taki, through the timber mafia, human and drug trafficking, Mexican cartels, Serbian mafias to a secret channel of the National Security Agency and what not. Check out their versions and invite them to comment on the next big murder. Like a capital crime investigator who, after Sashko's disappearance in Pernik, stated that 1) the child was kidnapped 2) the child is already dead 3) the father is involved in the story. I guess you remember what happened in the end. But the forensic scientist continues to comment on every significant case in the television studios. The show must go on air.
