How the capture of two sadists echoed on social networks

Two people, a man and a woman, were detained in Pernik after killing animals in a particularly cruel way. BTA reported last night.

Tomorrow in Sofia, and on Monday – in Pernik, spontaneous protests are convened demanding retribution against the sadists.

This is a case that the Bulgarian Elves group reported in October last year. In an interview with « The Day with Veselin Dremdzhiev » Petko Petkov of the group then said that they had contacted them a foreigner who came across content on the Internet, which shows the killing of animals in a particularly painful way. He failed to receive assistance from the authorities and therefore turned to the « Bulgarian elves ». With their instruments, the group was able to identify the perpetrators and helped the law enforcement agencies to disclose their crimes, which ended with arrest yesterday.

According to the prosecutor's office, the 26-year-old woman, originally from Pernik, is the main perpetrator and a 35-year-old man is her helper. The two hired rooms to shoot the videos. Gigabytes with video of mockery of living creatures have been found in the seized computer and telephone. Their criminal activity lasts from September 2022 to January this year: in a particularly painful way they caused the death of guinea pigs, rabbit, cat, white mouse. The goal was to obtain a property gain, the prosecutor's office concluded

The animal protection Foundation, which is relevant to the disclosure of the case, explains on Facebook that the perpetrators have built an international criminal network. Through channels with thousands of subscribers in the Telegram app, they offered videos with pornographic sadistic content.

The ominous criminal case was used politically by GERB MP Nikolay Nankov, who wrote in her Facebook profile that the mother of the detained woman was « activist and candidate mayor from Democratic Bulgaria ».

It was necessary for « Democratic Bulgaria » – Pernik, to state that it was a candidate for mayor of the village of Divotino, who participated in the elections in 2019 « The person is not and has never been a member of any of the parties, part of » Democratic Bulgaria – Unification « . Pernik, said in a statement of the regional coalition division.

The Pernik court session, which has to rule on whether the detainees remain on a constant, is on Monday.
