Funeral held for Bulgarian journalist Viktoria Marinova
Hundreds of relatives, friends and colleagues of slain Bulgaria journalist Viktoria Marinova attended her funeral in her native town of Ruse on Friday, just after German police announced that a suspect has acknowledged attacking her.
People queued at the Holy Trinity Cathedral to pay tribute and lay flowers at the coffin of the 30-year old, whose body was found in a park near the Danube River on Saturday.
An Orthodox priest performed a liturgy with a procession passing the casket to pay last respects before the funeral.
Marinova is survived by a 7-year-old daughter.
Ruse mayor Plamen Stoilov told reporters that "the brutal slaying has cast a shadow over the peaceful city."
