The court case on the Belneyski Sisters murder has took a new twist as DNA tests have confirmed that defendant Lazar Kolev was involved with the two girls
Sofia Rositsa Belneyski who was eighteen years of age, and her younger sister Kristina Belneyski who was only fifteen years of age both went missing in January 2006 after a night out. The last anyone saw of the two sisters alive was them leaving a disco in Pazardzhik.
In February 2006 a shepherd made the grim discovery of the two girls dead near a roadside on the outskirts of the town of Peshtera.
Since the girls murders there has been one defendant who has stood out as the potential murderer, this is thirty year old Lazar Kolev.
There has been much controversy around the Belneyski Sisters murder case as a video clip supposedly showing the girls dressed in skiing attire have surfaced with witnesses saying these are the two girls. The counsel for Kolev wants the date of the video clip confirmed so the case can be thrown out if it is on or after the date of the 28Th January 2006 when the girls went missing.
After this came to light an expert from Bulgaria's National Forensic Institute called Ivan Ivanov has said that DNA testing from samples taken from under the girls nails has confirmed only one match, this being of Lazar Kolev. This confirms that no matter the date of the video clip, Kolev was at some point in contact with the girls on or around the time of their murder.
Ivan Ivanov went on to say that the possibilities of the DNA being from anyone other than Lazar Kolev are some 48 trillion to one.
