Violina Lalkovska is the name of the woman who threw herself in front of a train in Vratsa. She had just been released from prison. The woman spent 18 years there because of the double murder in Vratsa of Beloslava's grandparents.
This was revealed by BulNews.
Violina Lalkovska's story is more than dramatic. Just two weeks before she made the fatal decision to throw herself under the train, the woman got out of the Sliven prison.
After returning to Vratsa, the woman lived alone on "Exarch Yosif" Street, in the area of the bus station. She had mental problems.
Most likely, the stay behind the bars shook her fragile psyche even more, and that's how the final decision was reached.
BulNews recalls that the victims of Violina Lalkovska are 76-year-old Veneta and 82-year-old Krastyo Stoyanovi. They were killed on December 11, 1997 in their apartment on “Aleko Konstantinov” in Vratsa. The two were retired teachers and are the grandparents of the singer Beloslava. She has Vratchan roots – her father is the famous businessman from the city Borislav Stoyanov, known by the nickname Botsi Marmalade. Her mother is the actress Aneta Sotirova.
Lalkowska was hired to take care of the elderly. She was 23 years old at the time of the murder. And here is the chronology of the brutal crime:
On December 11, 1997, former teachers Veneta and Krastyo Stoyanovi were found butchered in their apartment on "Aleko Konstantinov" in Vratsa. It was turned into a bloodbath as the walls and floors were slapped and painted with swastikas and symbols.
For this reason, the initial version was that the perpetrators were skinners.
A little later, their domestic help, Violina Lalkovska, was detained as a suspect. She made a full confession to the then chief of police, Georgi Asenov.
According to her version, her aggression was triggered by Stoyanov's desire to rape her, preceded by indecent proposals. At that time, his wife was visiting a friend. After they argued in the bedroom, Violina grabbed a nearby hunting knife and stabbed him. Stoyanov grabbed the knife and, according to her, cut her three times on the right hand.
Viola pulled out the knife and stabbed the old man several times. Then she took some iron and started hitting him recklessly. In the bathroom, she washed the blood off her face. At that moment, Veneta Stoyanova rang the doorbell. Frightened, Violina pushed the woman into the kitchen, knocked her to the floor, took a knife from the table and started hitting her. She then stripped her naked from the waist down to stage a rape, turned all the furniture inside out to suggest a robbery, and spray-painted swastikas and Latin writing on the fridge and wall to divert suspicion.
Lalkovska took off her clothes and put them together with the spray bottles, the bloody slippers and the knife in an envelope, which she set on fire the next day in the area of the gorge "Vrattsata". She subsequently led the police to that location. After the murder, Violina went to the Vratsa hospital to sew up the three cuts on her right hand. According to the ED nurse, she presented herself with a false name and fictitious address.
Disclosure of this fact, not mental or physical abuse, forced her to confess. In them she indicated other reasons - that the Stoyanovs treated her like a slave and paid her little. In her testimony before the court, she pleaded not guilty and did not want to talk, as she did not remember anything.
According to the medical examination, Violina Lalkovska interrupted her studies in Sofia in 1991 due to an illness - initial stage of schizophrenia. From then until 1995, she was hospitalized in the psychiatric clinic in Sofia. Her treatment stopped in 1995, when she was certified as a person with a balanced mental state, with a conclusion of work capacity and adequate civil behavior. The expertise says that Lalkovska is intelligent, reads a lot, has studied all the symptoms of insanity. This gives the prosecution reason to assume that she plays that role very well in the courtroom.
The case against Lalkovska is a whole legal saga that lasted a whole decade. She was eventually convicted in 2007 after a forensic examination proved she was sane at the time of the crime. She received two life sentences, but spent 17 years behind bars in Sliven prison before being released.
