She has not filed any reports against him. She worked in a mobile operator together with the suspect of her murder, who was detained. They were in a relationship but had separated at the time of the murder, bTV, Nova TV and 24 Chasa reported.

She was last seen the day she left work. Cameras show her getting into her car, she is also seen driving at high speed to a street where she turned. This happened on Tuesday (April 4), and the report of the disappearance was filed with the Third District Police Department.

The man was detained at the "Lomsko Shosse" metro station. There, the police stopped him for a check. At that moment he was in his personal car, and in the car he had a female companion who introduced herself as a military person. The detained man was calm throughout. He told the investigators that he knew nothing about the case. According to unconfirmed information, the military woman also said that she did not know anything and that the man in question simply drove her.

According to unconfirmed information, the name of the detained man was on the note in question. According to bTV, the victim's name is Christina, and the arrested man is Kaloyan.

The car of the murdered woman, in which she was last driven, was also found. Her purse and documents were found there.

According to unconfirmed information, the woman's body was found in a third car - neither hers nor the suspect's. It was in the trunk, which was sealed with polyurethane foam. The car was found in the "Zaharna fabrika" district, where the car was taken to a car repair shop and it was there that the murdered woman was found.

According to "24 Chasa", the detained man was convicted of burning the car of his former girlfriend. He harassed her, and she filed several reports against him.

She sought help from NGOs

The woman found in the trunk sought help from a non-governmental organization. This was announced by Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev at a briefing. However, an official report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs has not been submitted. According to the minister, poor communication between institutions is sometimes the cause of such tragedies.

"No report was filed by the young woman to the authorities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She shared her concerns with her relatives," stated the chief secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Petar Todorov at a briefing.

According to him, on April 3, the official notification was received from her relatives that they had no contact with her and that she did not show up for a meeting where she was supposed to pick up her child.

"Active work of the police and SDVR officers began, literally after a few hours we detained the person we had suspicions, unfortunately, we found the body of the woman. They had a close relationship and the main version is that as a result of this relationship a contradiction arose, which led to the murder of the victim," added the Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

He explained that as a result of personal and strained relations, the man resorted to this brutal act.

"The problem with domestic violence is escalating", specified the Minister of the Interior Ivan Demerdzhiev and called for better coordination between the institutions.
