Rangel Bizyurev Stands Trial for the Murder of Dimitar from Tsalapitsa
The District Prosecutor's Office in Plovdiv submitted an indictment to the District Court against 31-year-old Rangel Bizyurev, the prosecution announced. He was charged with the murder of Dimitar Malinov from Tsalapitsa.
Bizyurev was taken to court for intentionally killing 24-year-old Dimitar on July 20 last year. The murder was committed in a particularly cruel manner. The investigation completed within the period required by law. All necessary actions were taken and evidence was gathered to reveal the truth.
Bizyurev has been put under "permanent arrest", and the District Court is yet to schedule a hearing on the indictment.
We remind you that Rangel Bizyurev was arrested in Denmark on November 29 last year and he was wanted with a European arrest warrant for several months.
His escape after the murder of Dimitar from Tsalapitsa caused a wave of public discontent and shook the upper segments of the Ministry of Interior.
Bizyurev left the country early in the morning on July 24 on a flight from Sofia to Germany - 4 days after Mitko's disappearance.
We remind you that Mitko's body was found buried about a kilometer from the place he was last seen. He died as a result of a severe beating inflicted on him on July 20.
The twins Borislav and Valentin Dinkov were accused of personal concealment for the brutal murder.
In May this year, Rangel Bizyurev, accused of the murder, spoke for the first time. He revealed shocking details about the fateful night.
"...I hit his torso twice on the right, he reached to hit me but couldn't. I inflicted two more blows on his left side in the torso. One punch to the stomach and one shove to the chest and then he hit a tree from behind. The punch in the stomach was the last one. He fell to the ground and said "Stop, you hit me really badly". Then I stopped, went back, got into Borislav's car. When I got into the car, I saw him standing up, but that's all. We drove off. Before we got to the main street , I told Borislav, "Stop the car". I got out and went back to the street. Mitko (Dimitar) was not more than 20 meters from the place he fell down. There was no sign of life. His eyes were wide open. I checked his pulse. More than once. Absolutely no signs of life. I went back to Borislav and told him that something was wrong and that Mitko might have died and might have been dead", said Bizyurev.
