Bulgarian Top Cop Bashes Court over Tangled Murder Case

Bulgaria's Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov believes the court is now solely responsible for the development of the recent murder case involving the death of a young woman in a central Sofia park.

The Sofia Appellate Court "comes out with very strange decisions more often than not", the Minister stated, referring to the court's recent decision to release murder suspect Plamen Trifonov.

Trifonov. 34, was detained in July for the murder of Krasteva whose body was discovered in the Borisova Gradina park in central Sofia on July 10, almost two days after she was bludgeoned and strangled to death.

Another man, Nikolay Rusinov, was also initially detained as a potential suspect, but charges against him were never pressed. Rusinov has stated that he was with the victim until around 5:30 am in the night of the murder and that he left her alive, even though the coroner's office says she was killed between midnight and 4 am.

In an interview for the Bulgarian National Radio on Monday, Minister Tsvetanov declared that the police have done a professional job on the case.
