A reporter from TVN told AFP, “We are in shock. In no way, under any form, never have we received any threats – aimed at her or the television.”

But that assertion was contradicted by Asen Yordanov, the owner of the investigative website, bivol.bg, who told AFP that he had received information that his reporters were in danger of being assaulted. He said Marinova was linked to bivol.bg’s investigations because its reporters had appeared on her show.

“Viktoria’s death, the brutal manner in which she was killed, is an execution,” Yordanov said. “It was meant to serve as an example, something like a warning.”

Marinova’s killing was widely-condemned on Twitter by fellow journalists and watchdog groups.

I believe it will be a much Higher Power (God) who will take care of the debt owed for this rape and murder. HE will always make sure HIS people who are harmed/killed are avenged.

When they want to send a message, the baltic area can be quite effective. How was she murdered?

If pretty much every major bone in herbody was broken, and bruised from head to toe, that would be a clue.

Bulgaria was not part of the Soviet Union, but was still under its orbit and has enough lingering baggage messing it up without outside help.

This journalist was uncovering corruption of her country’s government’s use of EU funds...not corruption the EU itself.

That is certainly helpful action.

They could also do a candlelight vigil and a “walk”.
