SOFIA—A Bulgarian man has been detained in Germany over the rape and murder of television journalist Viktoria Marinova, officials said on Oct. 10, as Prime Minister Boyko Borissov defended his government’s record on press freedoms.
The suspect was identified by Bulgarian authorities as Severin Krasimirov from Ruse, Marinova’s hometown where her body was found in a park near Danube River last Saturday. Krasimirov, who lived near the park, left the country on Sunday, they said.
