Overview
- Six people connected to each other were found dead in two locations in western Bulgaria within a week, and police say the cases are linked.
- Three victims — two men and a 15-year-old boy — were discovered shot in a camper van near Mount Okolchitsa a week after three others were found shot by a burned hut near Petrohan.
- Police recovered two handguns, a rifle and shell casings, and forensic experts said shots were fired from close range.
- CCTV released by authorities shows all six together on February 1 and later captures the trio at the hut setting the building on fire before the others left in the van.
- Prosecutors list murder‑suicide or suicide as key lines of inquiry; a prosecutor’s office statement reported by local media indicates two murders and one suicide in the van and no signs of struggle among the hut victims.
