Viktoria Marinova: TV presenter's killer sentenced to 30 years
A 21-year-old has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for the rape and murder of a Bulgarian TV presenter, BBC reports.
Viktoria Marinova, 30, was killed by Severin Krasimirov while jogging in the city of Ruse on 6 October last year. Prosecutors, however, found that her murder was a sexual assault apparently carried out at random, and was unconnected to her work. Krasimirov pleaded guilty to the crime, agreeing to an expedited procedure, and avoided a life sentence.
He was arrested in Germany after fleeing Bulgaria following the attack.
Some of Ms Marinova's belongings were missing when her body was found, some of which were later found in Krasimirov's flat, prosecutors said at the time.
In court, Krasimirov confessed and apologised to Ms Marinova's family, saying he wished he could turn back time.
He was found to have been heavily intoxicated at the time of the attack, which prosecutors labelled particularly brutal.
Despite his confession, he received a heavy prison sentence and was ordered to pay compensation to the victim's family.
