Investigation into the "Petrokhan" tragedy continues.
The main versions at the moment - both for "Petrokhan" and for Okolchitsa Peak, are murder with subsequent suicide or suicide.
So far, it is known that the death of all six occurred after gunshot wounds to the head. However, the results of the ballistics examination of the weapons found in Ivaylo Kalushev's camper are still awaited.
Yesterday, the prosecutor's office and the Ministry of Interior released key security camera footage showing the men who were found dead saying goodbye in front of the "Petrokhan" hut.
Religious literature was found there, as well as a prayer room related to Tibetan Buddhism. According to investigators, the three men found dead in the hut had previously set it on fire.
Two pistols, a rifle and four cartridge cases were found next to the bodies.
There were no signs of resistance on the bodies.
18 forensic examinations have been ordered, 15 witnesses have been questioned, including minors, juveniles, as well as relatives and friends of the victims.
"A huge number of different explanations and versions of what happened in the "Petrokhan" case have been released into the open. When something like this happens, the Russians call it the "spider-web effect". You release thousands of such versions and very often they are even opposite. The ordinary person gets entangled in them just like in a spider's web and wonders where to go. The idea is to hide the truth", commented psychologist Ivan Igov on bTV.
"In this case, I don't know exactly what it's about. I personally feel very shaken in recent days. Now I find out that there is also a deep state - not mafia, scum, but deep state", he said.
"I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that in these huts - both in Petrokhan and in other places, there were visits from many other people - politicians, etc.", admitted Igov.
"Parents often come to me complaining that their children are addicted to phones, screens. I know that there is no such thing and the reason is somewhere else and I start looking for the reason. Some parents told me - "There, some guys promised us some money, and here we are talking about a lot of money - just for two weeks in the forest, without phones, and they will teach them how to live as a man," the psychologist said.
"They went, saw what it was about, grabbed their heads and returned, but apparently not everyone felt it, because they continued to pay and the children continued to go there and no one asked themselves the question of whether this was official, whether someone allowed it," said Ivan Igov.
"Some colleagues had told me that you can't get drunk there. They shoot without warning - there are such signs, there are closed doors and bars. Even though everyone knew that children go there. It's like a state within a state," he added.
Milena Malinova has known Ivaylo Ivanov - one of those killed in the hut - for about 30 years. She says that he would never have ignored the law for anything in the world.
"I really wish things could be dug up to that point and it would be understood who authorized it, who went there and what these old men were doing with these little boys," said the psychologist.
