Especially in front of bTV spoke the relatives of the murdered Alexey Petrov. The family of the former beret is shocked by what happened. Most of his relatives learned of the shooting from the news.

Ognyan and Alexey Petrovi remain close, although one has been in Sofia for years and the other has a family grocery store in Teteven.

"We have no explanation, we are just in big shock and stress. What happens and where we live we don't know. To take your life by force, I do not know what words to explain it," says Alexei Petrov's brother Ognyan Petrov.

Ognyan Petrov says that for the last time he discussed personal issues with his brother. He didn't feel any anxiety." Right now I'm just upset, I don't know what's going on or where to go. The point is that the modus operandi is scary. Come on, he's a famous guy, but we're talking about a normal person who could have that happen to him tomorrow. Both the state and the services are asleep - they do not know who does what and who does what. However, no one shares personal things what it is about, "added Ognyan Petrov.

Alexei Petrov's brother: I have no explanation. I'm just in shock!

The family expects the body to be released to organize a funeral in Sofia. They expect the perpetrator to be identified. "When he comes, he is always cheerful, he comes unguarded. Without security, he came to the village when he went to the mother-in-law. After all, she is an 80-year-old woman, now on August 6 she made them," said Nadka Petrova, Alexei Petrov's daughter-in-law.

Asan Omerov - this is the birth name of Alexey Petrov, which he changed to 8 years. He grew up in the village of Gradezhnitsa near Teteven. His 80-year-old mother Dilyana still lives there today.

"What can he say?" What happened – it happened" - these are her words, "adds Nadka Petrova.

"His mother, as she saw the film, so they stop and begin: shot, in Sofia, Alexey Petrov," says Antoaneta, Alexei Petrov's aunt.

The shock of the news worsens the woman's health. "He says, 'I won't live, I'm going to die.' I've been sleeping with her all night," Antoinette added.

DAY 2: The development around the murder of Alexey Petrov

Relatives still remember the two unsuccessful assassinations. For one on Tuesday, Alexey Petrov gave a sacrifice. "Before that unrevealed, and now it shall not happen. It will be difficult," says Alexei Petrov's uncle Krasimir.

Petrov's father died last year - since then he visits his mother more often. In the Pomak village near Teteven they heard about Alexey Petrov's connections with the criminal world.

"Anyone can talk about what they want. There may be something. I've seen positive things, and there may be negative ones. We grew up with him and that's how it went. He is a man who has helped many people with treatment. Those who responded have always helped," explains the mayor of Gradezhnitsa Mitko Rusinov.

Locals say that Petrov financed the fairs, helped build a temple and repair the kindergarten, where 60 children from the area now go.
