The Scotsman suspected for the brutal murder of an 11-year-old Bulgarian boy is 71-year-old David B., it has emerged.

The man who allegedly raped and strangled to death 11-year-old Stanislav Mirchev close to the town of Vidin on the Danube River has been educated in Germany and has worked as an aviation mechanic, local authorities have told the Bulgarian National Radio.

The suspect has reportedly admitted his guilt and has shared details that only the culprit would have known with the police. His full confessions came after he failed a lie detector test.

The man has denied having raped the child, claiming that he had become enraged because he suspected the boy of "poisoning one of his dogs."

Earlier, it was announced that the suspect settled in the village of Lagoshevtsi four years ago.

Stanislav was declared missing at the beginning of January and was later found dead near Lagoshevtsi where he lived in together with his big and poor family.
