A 16-year-old boy who was deliberately run over by his stepfather in the Ruse village of Basarbovo in July has died. This was confirmed by the medical facility in the city, BNT reported.
The District Prosecutor's Office in Ruse is expected to change the perpetrator's charges to a more serious one.
The incident occurred on July 19 at around 8:00 PM, when, after drinking alcohol between the 43-year-old man and the woman he lived with as a family, a scandal broke out in their home.
The 16-year-old boy and his mother then set off on foot along one of the streets of the village, but were caught by the man who was driving his car and deliberately aimed it at the child. He hit him with the front end and ran him over. Instead of stopping and rendering aid, he left the scene.
