    · Charged · 1 source

    A two-month-old boy died in the village of Zhelyazno, in Plovdiv Province, with his death reported to the authorities on 26 February 2026. His father, a 28-year-old man from the same village, was charged with the intentional murder of the infant, who was described in the indictment as having been in a helpless state. The defendant appeared before the Plovdiv Regional Court on 29 July 2026 for a preparatory hearing. He entered the courtroom with his head bowed and said nothing as he was escorted by guards. The hearing was adjourned to 9 September 2026 because some of the injured parties had not been summoned.
