Burgas court upholds detention for Dimchevo attempted murder suspect

The Burgas Appellate Court has upheld the decision to keep a man in custody following an attempted murder of two brothers in the village of Dimchevo on September 26, 2026. The defendant, identified as V. T., is accused of attacking two brothers, K. A. and A. A., using a scythe and a taser, inflicting multiple wounds to their heads and bodies.

Judges determined that the risk of the defendant fleeing or committing further crimes outweighs his personal circumstances, such as having a steady job and minor children. The court also noted his criminal record and the potential for him to influence witnesses. The severity of the potential sentence—ranging from 15 to 20 years to life imprisonment—was cited as a factor in the decision to maintain detention. Although the defendant also sustained injuries during the incident, medical reports indicate his condition does not prevent his continued detention.
