Man admits to attacking murdered Bulgarian journalist

bulgarian journalist case.pngA Bulgarian man said on Friday he attacked Viktoria Marinova, a television journalist whose murder drew international condemnation partly because it initially appeared that it could have been politically motivated.

Severin Krasimirov, 21, is charged with rape and murder with extreme cruelty in the case of Marinova and on Friday he was remanded in custody.

Reuters quote reports by the Bulgarian National Radio, that Krasimirov, spoke to reporters as he was brought to a district court in the northern city of Ruse on the Danube.

“I do not know what happened. I cannot remember everything. I went there and I slapped her, she fell. I want to move on but she grabbed me,” Krasimirov told reporters in the hallway of the court building.

“Yes, I am guilty, I am very sorry. I cannot believe that I have done that,” Krasimirov said in a wavering voice, when reporters asked whether he plans to tell the court he is guilty.
