Ralitsa Asenova, mother of the 22-year-old Nikolai Zlatkovwho was found shot yesterday in a camper under Mount Okolchitsa together with Ivaylo Kalushev and Alexander Makulev, believes that the case was a professionally committed murder.
“I have been there many times, in every single room, in every single room. It was and is the most harmonious environment that can exist”she described the former hut of “Petrohan”.
“My son made me a sarmi, we watched movies. There were unique things there. There was a recording studio, there was a clay workshop”told about her last visit.
“Obviously they had seen something – some great threat. This was a professionally executed murder.”Asenova thinks.
Four mountain jeeps have gone up, I have spoken to a woman who saw them and she is ready to testify. These four jeeps went up to the lodge on Sunday evening, she said.
“I tried to see all the videos of them breaking up. How did it become clear that they committed suicide? On these things that were released, I see men breaking up cheerful and happy. On those cameras, where are the dates and where are the times? I want to tell you that where these cards were taken – there is no camera. There is an empty place, if there is a camera, it must be somewhere back in the forest – there is no camera.”is definitely the mother.
“There were paintball guns because they had made a paintball field. There were sport bows. Is that combat gear?”she asked.
Today investigators announcedthat two pistols and a rifle were found next to the bodies of Decho Iliev, Ivaylo Ivanov and Plamen Stanev, and in the camper with her son, Ivaylo Kalushev and Alexander Makulev – a revolver and a pistol.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs confirmed that all the weapons were legally owned, with three of the six having permits.

Asenova voluntarily went to give a statement to the police last Wednesday and according to her, she was the first person who cooperated in the case of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
“When we found out about the tragedy, we knew they were at sea. When I found out that the cabin had burned down and that there were three dead, I left immediately. Our horror was that something even more terrible could happen” – she told – “I called the police and asked for assistance from Burgas or Tsarevo, because the road is long and I was not calm.”

In Strandzha Bulgari village she experienced “absolute shock”: “There were an awful lot of uniformed and armed squads. I’ve never seen such weapons”explained Asenova.
She was not allowed to reach Kalushev’s house. “They didn’t let me in. The first thing they asked me was how they made their money”she added.
“I want to speak out because for a week now a cruel scum has been pouring out for people who cannot defend themselves. We have victims, and from day one, horrific insinuations have started”said Nikolai Zlatkov’s mother.
