The motivation behind her killing remains unknown, and Bulgarian authorities say they have yet to establish a link between her death in the northeastern city of Ruse and her work as a journalist. But because Marinova is the third reporter to be killed in Europe in the past year, the news stoked anxieties about the safety of journalists on the continent. “Again a courageous journalist falls in the fight for truth and against corruption,” Frans Timmermans, vice president of the European Commission, said Monday in Brussels. The European Union pledged its support for Bulgarian authorities as they continued their investigation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acko Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Apart from the corruption & the state of the world in general, It just breaks my heart. All signs point to a 'reckoning'. She leaves a 7 year old daughter behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the " humans" in this cruel unfair world are not worthy of any decent words or thoughts. Acko, With you being a journalist, this would be even tougher for you to hear.
