Flowers are placed near a portrait of slain Bulgarian television journalist Viktoria Marinova in the city of Rousse on October 9, 2018. Corruption-plagued EU member Bulgaria found itself under pressure to find the killer of a television journalist whose brutal murder at the weekend has shocked the country and sparked international condemnation. The body of 30-year-old Viktoria Marinova -- who presented a current affairs talk programme called "Detector" for the small private TVN television in Ruse -- was found on October 6, 2018.

SOFIA, Bulgaria— Police in Germany have arrested a man in connection with the rape and brutal murder of Bulgarian journalist Viktoria Marinova, Bulgarian officials said Wednesday.
The man was picked up late on Tuesday at the request of Bulgarian authorities, Bulgaria's Interior Minister Mladen Marinov told a news conference.
The country's chief prosecutor, Sotir Tsatsarov, said "at this stage, we do not believe that the murder is linked" to Marinova's work as a journalist.
