Tragedy shook the Plovdiv village of Zhelyazno. An 8-year-old girl was stabbed and died. The probable perpetrator is the child’s mother, who also has stab wounds after a suicide attempt. She is life-threatening and is being treated at the St. George University Hospital in Plovdiv. She is about to have an operation. Investigators are working on all possible versions of what happened – including that the 30-year-old woman had a mental problem that she hid from her relatives. From their own sources NOVA learned that the woman dressed her little girl in a festive dress on the day of the tragedy. She prepared it for Children’s Day – June 1.
The people in the village are shocked by what happened. Neighbors of the family said that the child was meek and innocent, and the mother looked after him with great love. She was currently unemployed.
“I learned from the police, who called me on Wednesday morning. I came to the place as a poet,” said the mayor of the village Valentina Uzunova. According to her, there were no indications that the woman was capable of such actions. “The family is very modest, very quiet. They are not conflicted, they are not problematic people and we cannot explain how this incident came about. We had prepared a holiday for the children from the village on the occasion of June 1, but unfortunately we canceled it, “she added.
According to her, the 8-year-old girl finished 1st grade at a school in Plovdiv. “As far as I know, the family is financially well. I don’t know if they had any problems, “the mayor said.
