Jealousy is the motive for the brutal murder in Sunny Beach  - 1

Jealousy is the motive for the serious criminal offense that occurred on Friday night on the Sunny Beach promenade.

38-year-old Hristo Dimitrov from Lovech stabbed 31-year-old Tsvetomir Yakimov from Kyustendil in the heart, who was resting in the ambulance on the way to the hospital in Burgas.

Witnesses say that both the killer and the victim worked at neighboring pavilions in the resort, and their feud over a woman has escalated in recent days. She also worked nearby.

The criminally active man stated to his lawyer that he feared for his life and that is why he bought a knife. The court imposed permanent arrest on Hristo Dimitrov, who was accused of premeditated murder. He is accused of premeditated murder, for which the law provides for 10 to 20 years in prison. A technical examination of the camera recordings seized from the crime scene is pending.

"The motive is a love affair with a girl, which escalated into jealousy. The girl had a boyfriend, the first, and the second was also her boyfriend. It was not intentional, he had no intention of killing him at all, but simply to intimidate him", said lawyer Georgi Georgiev.

The prosecutor's office requested the most severe measure - detention in custody. "An extremely brutal murder was committed with a knife, directly to the heart. The charge is for premeditated murder, at the moment we have no data on a more severe qualification, but under Art. 115 it is severe enough, "said Prosecutor Angel Georgiev.
