A version is emerging that if the Ministry of Interior had acted faster, the girl would have been alive – this version is false. This was stated at a briefing by the Minister of Interior Daniel Mitov.
And he specified that the murder was committed in the early hours of April 26, and the report was filed at 8 p.m., that is, when the report was filed, the girl had already been killed. “When we talk about the resignation of the director of the Haskovo Regional Directorate of the Interior, it is not because they did not do their job, but because the regional director shared a version with the media that was unfounded – or was insufficiently informed“, added the Minister of the Interior.
Mitov categorically stated that all those who participated in these hooligan acts and are responsible will be sought. Some of them have already been sought and will be held accountable by law.
The Minister announced that the resignation of the Director of the Haskovo Department of Internal Affairs Ivan Rasokov has been submitted and accepted. “The Director has been removed due to unsuccessful communication with the public and misled not only the public, but also me as a minister“, he added.
We recall that on Thursday, relatives and classmates of 18-year-old Magdalena Ruseva pelted the police building in the city with eggs and yogurt. On April 30, the body of the 18-year-old girl who had been wanted for 4 days earlier was found in an abandoned house in Haskovo. A 17-year-old youth was arrested for the crime. The girl was killed in a particularly gruesome manner - strangled by tightening a noose made of rope or other string.
