The owner of a burning grocery store in Pavel invested another BGN 50,000 in order to restore the completely burned groceries at one end of the village in the municipality of Polski Trambesh, writes “Fight”.
Lyubov Todorova has managed to renovate the room in just a few months and the people in the village have a shop again and no longer walk more than two kilometers to the center.
The arson of the grocery store of Lyubov Todorova was carried out on October 14 last year. before midnight. Everything had burned down, and the owner estimated the damage at over BGN 10,000. The arsonist is from the same village and hours after the crime he turned himself in to the police in Veliko Tarnovo and admitted what he had done. 40-year-old Plamen Z. told police that he set fire to the store because some time ago his mother was a saleswoman with the Russian Lyubov and was expelled.
The young man has not been detained and no charges have yet been filed against him, despite his confessions. However, his motivation is absurd for Lyubov Todorova, because the story with his mother happened about 15 years ago. She actually worked in one of Todorova’s stores, but left, and she did not take any action against her after the BGN 3,000 deduction. .
“I have never had conflicts with Plamen, he shopped from my store in the center. He even comes shopping on Fridays, but he was a little weird. His mother wanted to leave work on her own and left, but after an audit we found that there was a lack of money, but she said then that it was impossible.
After that, however, it was never about that money, and I did not look for guilt in any way. Even then he came to shop in the burned shop and we talked. Now it is inexplicable for me what it is about! ”Said Lyubov Todorova days after the arson.
The arsonist had quite serious training and entered through the roof, and then used flammable liquid. Everything had burned down, there was alcohol and other flammable goods in the shop, which were an additional catalyst for the fire. In order not to unlock the door of the store, he put matches in the lock and the firefighters had to break down the door to extinguish the fire.
As the fire started from the roof, the neighbors did not hear or notice anything, and help began to be sought only after the SOT was activated. A signal to the fire department was received at 11.30 pm that night. Fortunately, the house next door was saved and no gas cylinders exploded.
The 100-square-meter store in question is a new building attached to a house that the Todorovi family bought years ago. The late husband of Lyubov, who is from Tyumen, but came with her husband to Pavel in 1982 and remained in Bulgaria, built the store with both hands, she says with difficulty. Neighbors helped, who are now also ready to join the repairs.
BGN 50,000 were invested in the past, but now this money will not be enough for anything, say the residents of this street, who do not understand Plamen’s action.
After the arson, many people from Pavel said that they would help restore the store voluntarily and without money, because about 200 people shop here. Now Lyubov admitted that many people really helped, but none of them did it for free, and she paid 50,000 leva for the repairs, as much as it cost to build the store years ago. The woman still does not know if and when there will be a case against the arsonist!
