A DNA expertise on the case of the double murder outside “Solo” club in Sofia in April 2009 has proved that there has not been found any biological material on the knife, allegedly used in the murder.

The 23-year-old Iliyan Todorov has been accused of double homicide by hooligan motive of 21-year-old Kiril Vazharov, who was a national ice hockey player, and 24-year-old Vasil Alexandrov. The two got involved in a fight between two allegedly drunk groups of young people in front of “Solo” club in downtown Sofia on April 18, 2009.

Both men were stabbed in the back while trying to get away from the fight. A third man, Kiril Dimitrov, has also been seriously injured.

The police have not established yet the reasons for the fight. However, they suppose that Todorov hid the knife, with which he allegedly stabbed the victims, in the bag of his friend.

The Sofia City Court decided Wednesday to assign a second DNA expertise to prove whether it was possible to inflict heavy wounds by such a knife. The trial will continue in October.
