Police in the Plovdiv region are investigating the killing of a 21-year-old man from the village of Nayden Gerovo, whose dismembered body was found in a bag near a farm at Saedinenie after being concealed there for several days. A 63-year-old former police officer who worked as a shepherd on the farm has been detained at the Trud district police station, and pre-trial proceedings have been opened. On 21 August 2026 the Plovdiv District Court ordered that the former police officer remain in custody. According to the prosecution he shot the victim with an illegal hunting rifle and then dismembered the body and concealed it in sacks. His defence argues that he acted in unavoidable self-defence, saying the victim attacked him with an axe on the night in question. At the hearing the accused himself asked to be kept in custody, saying he feared reprisals against himself and his farm.
