The Court of Appeal in Plovdiv is to consider the appeal against the detention in custody of the 14-year-old boy, accused of the murder of his mother. The Plovdiv District Court determined the most severe measure of detention on October 11. The hearing was then behind closed doors.
The investigation is into the death of a 45-year-old woman, found in an apartment in the “North“ district of Plovdiv on October 9. After the incident, the boy himself called 112 and cooperated with the police, but according to bTV, he did not make a categorical confession. The prosecutor's office defines the murder as premeditated, not an act of passion.
“This is about a complex relationship between a parent and a child“, said prosecutor Ginka Lazarova.The boy and his mother moved to Plovdiv about three months before the case. Until his detention at school, no aggressive or antisocial behavior was recorded. The Court of Appeal is yet to decide whether the measure of “detention“ will be confirmed or amended.
