A report was made to the police. Dozens of uniformed and gendarmerie officers were dispatched. The search lasted five days. The version of the kidnapping for ransom was rejected at first: Denitsa’s family is poor and has no money.
On 5 January, around 9:30 a.m., the gendarmerie officers found the girl’s body in a swamp near the town of Mogila in Shumen. Denitsa was raped, anally and vaginally, and then strangled.
A few hours later, criminal investigators arrested the brutal perpetrator, Iliya Haralampiev Iliev, 53, in the Galata district of Varna. Two days later the killer makes full confessions and tells the sinister story.
In April 2001, the pedophile appeared in court. After a three-day trial, he was found guilty sentenced to life in prison without parole. Iliya Iliev has to pay the blackened parents BGN 25,000 for non-pecuniary damages.
The killer appealed. Without results. In March 2002, a panel of the Supreme Court of Cassation chaired by Bozhidar Suknarov upheld the decision of the Varna Court of Appeal, which sentenced Iliya Iliev to life imprisonment without parole under a strict regime.
Since then, Iliev has been in solitary confinement in Belene Prison. Over the years, there have been rumors that he committed suicide in his cell and was killed by other inmates. However, none of them are true.
