The Mystery of “Sianche”: A Breakthrough in the mitko Murder Case
In a shocking twist in the murder case of 24-year-old Dimitar “Mitko” Malinov from Tsalapitsa, a mysterious figure known as “Sianche” has emerged as a key witness. The case, which has gripped the small Bulgarian village as July 2023, took a dramatic turn during the preliminary hearing against rangel Bizyurev, the prime suspect in Mitko’s murder.
According to reports from Maritsa, investigators discovered that Valentin Dinkov, one of the twins accused of aiding Bizyurev, had a conversation with a girl he referred to as “Sianche” shortly after Mitko’s body was buried. The court has since ordered an inquiry through mobile operators to identify the owner of the phone number linked to “Sianche.”
“There is correspondence on the night of the murder and the early morning of July 21st between Valentine and a phone number entered as Hristo. It becomes clear, however, that Valentine is talking to a girl and addresses her as ‘Sianche,’” said Adv. Antoineta Nikolova, who represents Mitko’s mother, Atanaska Bakalova.
The court has summoned ”Sianche” to appear at a future hearing,where she will be questioned about her alleged meeting with Valentin just hours after the murder. This progress comes as technical examinations of the twins’ phones have been completed, and efforts are underway to enhance video recordings from the night of the crime.
The Timeline of Events
Mitko’s body was discovered on July 27, 2023, seven days after he was reported missing.His family, friends, and the entire village of Tsalapitsa had launched a desperate search for him. The examination led to the arrest of twins Valentin and Borislav Dinkov, who are accused of aiding Bizyurev and concealing evidence.
Bizyurev, the main suspect, fled Bulgaria but was apprehended in Germany four months later. In March 2024, he was extradited to Bulgarian authorities, where he now faces trial alongside the Dinkov twins.
Community Outcry and the Fight for justice
The case has sparked widespread outrage in Tsalapitsa, with Mitko’s relatives and friends staging protests at the Orta Khan roundabout and outside the Plovdiv courthouse. They demand strict and fair sentences, as well as the unification of the cases against Bizyurev and the Dinkov twins.
Tragically, Mitko’s mother, Atanaska Bakalova, passed away before seeing justice served.Her death has added a layer of sorrow to an already heart-wrenching case.
